Cinema Atlas Connection
Yes, 'The Conversation' is a film that I often mention. The way it uses sound and silence to build suspense and character is just masterful. It’s one of those films that really broadened my understanding of cinematic language.
I had always wanted to make a movie about surveillance and what it meant and the first thing that got me really interested in it was Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Blow-Up'.
