This Oscar®-nominated classic directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Gene Hackman is an enthralling character study inspired by Antonioni’s Blow-Up. Embodying the Cold War era of paranoia with formal and political rigor, The Conversation deservingly won the Palme d’Or in 1974.

Three lifelong friends from a Pennsylvania steel town deal with the physical, mental and emotional toll the Vietnam War has taken on each.

This brilliant companion piece to the original THE GODFATHER continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family. Often regarded as the best sequel ever made, the film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
