The most unbelievable thing about A Quiet Place: Day One is not its premise of world-invading ultrasonic-hearing aliens, but rather that a cat in such a situation wouldn’t have everyone within its vicinity immediately killed by tapping a delicately balanced glass off a table. Cats are - and I say this with nothing but love and admiration - really dumb. It’s why the internet loves videos of them so much. A feline flying through the air at the sight of a pea?

On a huge screen, Gene Hackman is walking across Union Square in San Francisco, which by coincidence is almost exactly the same size as the square where I’m sitting. He’s trying to record a conversation between two young lovers. The film is The Conversation, the masterpiece which Coppola sandwiched between the first two Godfathers in 1974. Coppola’s film was also inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966), another Italian connection. I can’t think of a better way of watching this 4K restoration, sh...
