SCAD Cinema Circle: The Conversation

One of the most chilling and incisive explorations of paranoia in American cinema, Francis Ford Coppola’s "The Conversation" is a film whose relevance has only deepened in our age of fractured privacy. At its core is Gene Hackman’s career-defining performance as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert whose professional detachment begins to crumble under the weight of guilt and suspicion. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and newly restored in stunning 4K, "The Conversation" stands as both a haunting character study and a stylistic triumph -- see David Shire’s minimalist score and Walter Murch’s groundbreaking sound design. This screening not only showcases Coppola’s masterwork in its full visual and sonic glory but also pays tribute to the late Hackman, whose nuanced, and indelible work here remains one of the greatest performances in modern film history.

Tickets for the film are FREE for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public.
