THE CONVERSATION

[diggler]

Great film, actually strangely one of the few films that scared the living crap out of me and gave me nightmares.

(spoilers, i guess)

no i'm with you, the blood coming up out of the toilet is still one of the most haunting moments for me. don't know what it is about it, just got under my skin.

the way the camera shoots as if it's a security camera is great, especially the last shot.

can anyone think of an earlier example where the camera stayed still why the action happened offscreen?
new wave maybe?

i always think of that hallway shot in Taxi Driver but that is after this film i believe.
