Sinopsis: Harry Caul, un detective cuyo prestigio como especialista en vigilancia y sistemas de seguridad es reconocido por todos sus colegas, es contratado por un magnate para investigar a su joven esposa. Deberá escuchar sus conversaciones con un empleado de su cliente, del que parece estar enamorada. La misión, para un experto de su categoría, resulta a primera vista inexplicable, ya que la pareja no ofrece ningún interés fuera de lo corriente. Sin embargo, cuando Harry da por finalizado su trabajo, advierte que algo extraño se oculta tras la banalidad que ha estado investigando, ya que su cliente se niega a identificarse, utilizando siempre intermediarios... (FILMAFFINITY)
El oyente.Gene Hackman interpreta a un laborioso especialista en escuchas, que comete el gran error de involucrarse personalmente en una peligrosa conversación. De esta manera, se ve metido en un turbio asunto en el que se mezcla un caso de homicidio y una serie de intrigas de poder. Se trata de una de las mejores películas rodadas durante los años setenta. Coppola había sorprendido a Hollywood con El padrino (1972), que le convierte en el realizador más importante de su generación y provoca que cambie su, hasta entonces, escasa suerte.
La conversación, además de dirigida, está escrita y producida por el propio Coppola. Ganó la Palma de Oro del Festival de Cannes. Una película muy brillante, con un guión inquietante que profundiza en el dilema ético que se plantea para Gene Hackman sobre la responsabilidad personal en el ejercicio del trabajo profesional. La interpretación de Hackman es soberbia. Película indispensable para cualquiera que disfrute con el buen cine (DeCine21)
AMG Synopsis: Made between The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974), and in part an homage to Michelangelo Antonioni's art-movie classic Blow-Up (1966), The Conversation was a return to small-scale art films for Francis Ford Coppola. Sound surveillance expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is hired to track a young couple (Cindy Williams and Frederic Forrest), taping their conversation as they walk through San Francisco's crowded Union Square. Knowing full well how technology can invade privacy, Harry obsessively keeps to himself, separating business from his personal life, even refusing to discuss what he does or where he lives with his girlfriend, Amy (Teri Garr). Harry's work starts to trouble him, however, as he comes to believe that the conversation he pieced together reveals a plot by the mysterious corporate "Director" who hired him to murder the couple. After he allows himself to be seduced by a call girl, who then steals the tapes, Harry is all the more convinced that a killing will occur, and he can no longer separate his job from his conscience. Coppola, cinematographer Bill Butler, and Oscar-nominated sound editor Walter Murch convey the narrative through Harry's aural and visual experience, beginning with the slow opening zoom of Union Square accompanied by the alternately muddled and clear sound of the couple's conversation caught by Harry's microphones. The Godfather Part II and The Conversation earned Coppola a rare pair of Oscar nominations for Best Picture, as well as two nominations for Best Screenplay (The Godfather Part II won both). Praised by critics, The Conversation was not a popular hit, but it has since come to be seen as one of the artistic high points of the decade, as well as of Coppola's career. Its atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion, combined with its obsessive loner antihero, made it prototypical of the darker "American art movies" of the early '70s, as its audiotape storyline also made it seem eerily appropriate for the era of the Watergate scandal.
AMG Review: Though it was commercially lost in the shuffle between The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, The Conversation ranks among the finest films of Francis Ford Coppola's career. Drawn on a more intimate canvas than the Godfather epics or Apocalypse Now, it's a compelling and expertly constructed chamber piece about the nature of privacy and the troubling gray area between facts and truth; it was also remarkably prescient, coming out just as the Watergate scandal was making surveillance a major issue in the American consciousness. Gene Hackman delivers a typically expert performance as Harry Caul, who makes his living finding out what others are doing. As a consequence, Caul has become an obsessively private man haunted by guilt and incapable of trusting anyone, and Hackman and Coppola mold him into an indelible character whose moral and professional sides are at constant war. Coppola also used his soundtrack with uncommon intelligence; in a decade in which the attention paid to film sound would increase by leaps and bounds, The Conversation was a breakthrough in using its soundtrack not just to convey dialogue and music but to deepen the story, as well as providing the ultimate screen example of the adage, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." The Conversation is a subtle film that best reveals its details through repeat viewings, though even on a first viewing it's a brilliant cautionary tale whose message has become all the more potent with the passage of time and the further rise of technology.
