PART OF A LINCOLN FILM SERIES: TRUST NO ONE
CLICK HERE FOR MORE
Join us Tuesdays in May for our new film series: TRUST NO ONE: PARANOID THRILLERS FROM 1970s AMERICA.
In the 1970s, a number of factors -- the rise of the counterculture, increasing distrust in governments and corporations in the wake of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, the fall of the Hays Code and the subsequent emergence of American auteurs -- combined to create a sub-genre of film: conspiracy-laden suspense-thrillers where everyone is being watched, all the phones are bugged, and all nails that stick out must be hammered down. Trust No One, indeed -- these four films embody that ethos in spades.
May 27: The Conversation (4K Restoration)
Surveillance expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) becomes consumed by guilt and suspicion when he believes a taped conversation he recorded may lead to murder.
As he struggles to uncover the truth, his carefully controlled, isolated life begins to unravel, and Caul realizes that no one -- not even himself -- can be fully trusted.
"It is a superior movie, a dynamic social document, and an exemplary public service. In every way, a Kilimanjaro among motion pictures." —Rex Reed, New York Daily News
"Under Coppola's direction it succeeds on a variety of levels: as sheer thriller, as psychological study, as social analysis, and as political comment." —Judith Crist, New York Magazine
