Laurent Durieux’s Vision of Paranoia

Capture the intense psychological atmosphere of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, The Conversation (1974), with this breathtaking alternative movie poster by the acclaimed artist Laurent Durieux, in collaboration with François Schuiten. Known for his evocative retro-modern style, Durieux perfectly encapsulates the film’s core theme of surveillance and isolation.

The Art of Eavesdropping

This striking print centers on Gene Hackman’s haunted character, Harry Caul, the professional wiretapper who finds himself entangled in a potential murder plot. The stark, contrasting color palette—vibrant orange and deep paranoid blue—creates a visual representation of Caul’s increasing distress. The detailed, etched style of Durieux brings a tactile sense of texture to the image, from the wood floor beneath the title to the intense lines etched onto Caul’s face as he listens intently through his headphones.
