Film: The Conversation, Blow Up

The Conversation was Coppola's ode to Antonioni's Blow Up. I think I enjoy each of these movies more on a formal level than an emotional level. If they were novels, you wouldn't exactly call them page-turners. In Blow Up, the discovery of the murder happens after the halfway point of the movie -- of course in an American studio picture this would occur in the first 20 minutes. Nevertheless, the movie's final scene is incredible and for me, makes the entire movie...actually the same can be said of both movies.
