Rialto Pictures is bringing Francis Ford Coppola’s Palme d’Or winning 1974 movie 'The Conversation' back to theaters, starting March 20 at New York’s Film Forum and Landmark’s Nuart Theatre in L.A., with newly struck 35mm prints personally supervised by the six-time Oscar winning filmmaker.

The platform release will offer theaters an alternate DCP restoration remixed in Dolby 5.1 by 3x Oscar winning sound designer Walter Murch. [SOURCE]

Could this get a 4K release? Gonna definitely try and see this! Love the NuArt!

Himmel · 02-19-2020, 03:27 PM

One of Coppola’s best imo.

So teal

..Hopefully not a sign of what the new transfer will be like lol

Hope this is coming to UHD. Doubt I'll see it in theaters, but tempted since I haven't watched this movie in years.

Cremildo · 02-19-2020, 03:37 PM

This ranks ninth on my all-time top 10.

I'd totally try to watch it on the big screen if I lived in the US.

Straight up masterpiece

FragnitoM · 02-19-2020, 04:10 PM

Lionsgate still has it like Apoc, right? Could mean a UHD

lamotta · 02-19-2020, 04:25 PM

Nice Poster

lamotta · 02-19-2020, 04:53 PM

Just found this while looking up the other poster, different colour but just as nice if not more so.

Stargrove · 02-19-2020, 04:59 PM

Ill echo the masterpiece sentiments here. Every time I watch this movie I'm amazed at its ability to quietly establish an unsettling mood without using the usual in-your-face types of tricks.
The score was beautiful.
Hackman was perfect.

UltraMario9 · 02-20-2020, 03:17 PM

Really hope it comes to the UK like Apocalypse Now.

kristoffer · 10-01-2020, 04:34 AM

Bring it.

UltraMario9 · 12-26-2020, 01:16 AM

Nothing?

larsknudsen · 12-26-2020, 01:41 AM

Only thing I remember about watching this movie was laughing out loud at the ending.

I love it until that very last part. It comes off hokey to me. Doesn't kill the film but felt narratively false and too romanticized.

Looks like this is finally coming out after being delayed by COVID.

It's currently being screened in New York and expanding to more cities in late-January/February. Some venues will have a new 35mm print (with the new remixed soundtrack).

It doesn't list Pasadena but I know the Laemmle has it scheduled to run for a week starting Feb 4 which is how I'm likely to catch it.
