SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“Celebrated in its time yet ahead of it, powerfully entertaining as well as prescient…as disturbing and unnerving as ever, if not more so.”
114 minutes. Rated PG. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In English. DCP.
Lonely wiretapping expert and devout Catholic Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is hired to record a seemingly innocuous conversation in San Francisco's Union Square between two lovers. Upon re-hearing the tapes, however, Caul believes he may be putting the couple in danger if he turns the material over to his client (Robert Duvall). But what one hears can ultimately turn out to be quite different from what was actually recorded.
