The Conversation
Friday, January 23rd, 6:00 pm
“The Conversation,” a 1974 thriller written, produced, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a masterful exploration of surveillance and privacy. Starring Gene Hackman in a career-defining role, the film follows a reclusive surveillance expert, who discovers a potential murder through a routine wiretapping job.
Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or, the film received critical acclaim and earned three Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Sound. Selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”, “The Conversation” remains a timeless commentary on the ethical implications of technology and privacy, resonating with audiences even today.
“What made the event unique was Dawn’s research and knowledge about the film, the production, and the directors/producers… If you’re looking for a new idea for date night, Domaine Lumineux takes movie night to the next level.”
