My Review - The Conversation
*****
A sly character study masquerading as a thriller, Francis Coppola's "The Conversation" not only broke new ground with Walter Murch's masterful sound design, it also contains one of the best reversals in cinema.
Gene Hackman's portrayal of surveillance expert and paranoiac Harry Caul is a thing of beauty. Sad and introspective, Caul is a lonely man who can only open up during confessional. "I don't know anything about human nature. I don't know anything about curiosity," he says to his as… Continue

Have you seen it before? While needless, it really does reinforce the bleakness of the original ending.
thanks for the heads up on the new METROPOLIS footage. Just replaced the VERTIGO window with a link to the German news story.
Seriously, though, I wanted to welcome you out to the Classic Cinema group and hope to read your thoughts on that "small set of your favorites" you've got listed.
I LOVE "Wings of Desire," BTW. And Welcome!
