Follow Julian: / julianjpalmer / thediscardedimageuk / julianjpalmer Sponsorship and business inquiries: [email protected] Roger Ebert on the film "'The Conversation' comes from another time and place than today’s thrillers, which are so often simple-minded. This movie is a sadly observant character study, about a man who has removed himself from life, thinks he can observe it dispassionately at an electronic remove, and finds that all of his barriers are worthless."
