Not much to say without spoiling it but damn this movie was good. Jack Nicholson is charismatic as ever and this performance is up there with The Shining for me personally. Great writing, and the cinematography is beautiful.
some of my favorite movies ever were made by him in the 60s, absolute mood pieces. seen la notte (pictured) more times than I’d care to admit. the passenger with jack nicholson is also sublime.
Everyone talks about The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and rightfully so, but The Conversation is masterful. Maybe my favorite Gene Hackman performance. He’s often such a BIG character but his restraint here offers so much quiet vulnerability. Also, the score by David Shire is fantastic.
Eyes Wide Shut // Stanley Kubrick
Apocalypse Now // Francis Ford Coppola
