Recommended watching tonight.

The Conversation (1974) by Francis Ford Coppola. Opening credits above.

Still mesmerizing and stylish almost 40 years later, this disturbing meditation on privacy and surveillance is even more relevant given recent revelations about the reach of America’s spy apparatus. The hypnotically glitchy sound design alone is worth experiencing.

Streaming free on Amazon Prime.

Also Wim Wenders’ End of Violence. And, for a weird coda, Enemy of the State co-starring Gene Hackman.
