About This Print
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.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
