EhGhRe4m5Pm2uZxmP8QryygKMZ.jpg' alt='De Palma Full Movie' title='De Palma Full Movie' />In a career spanning nearly a half century, De Palma has been gleefully provoking audiences with outrageous symphonies of sex, violence and twisted humor that have led observers to either celebrate him as a master of suspense with one of the most distinctive stylistic touches of any filmmaker working today or dismiss him as a derivative hack who stole everything he knows from the works of Alfred Hitchcock, has an attitude towards women that is borderline misogynistic and could not tell a coherent story to save his life.

Needless to say, I happen to fall squarely in the first camp and to both defend that position and celebrate the release of his latest film, the highly impressive Passion, I have compiled the following retrospective look at his entire career minus one or two obscurities. Some are better than others but with few exceptions, they are all the work of a singular director with a singular vision that stand out all the more amidst its committee created competition and which make even his weakest efforts more interesting than the best works of most other filmmakers working today. Blow Out 1. 98. In this masterful thriller, John Travolta plays a sound man for a sleazy movie producer who inadvertently records a car plunging off a bridge containing a potential presidential candidate and a hooker Nancy Allen whom he manages to rescue. Upon studying his tapes, he becomes convinced that he can hear a shot just before the fatal tire blow out and tries to get to the bottom of the growing conspiracy with tragic results. Far from being the Blow Up knock that many assumed it to be, this film brought together the obsessions that had fueled his best films and revisited them in a startlingly mature and thoughtful manner. Throw in great performances across the board Travolta has never been better, Allen never more lovable and sympathetic and John Lithgow and Dennis Franz never sleazier as two of the guys involved in the accident, a straightforward style that is still electric despite the relative lack of visual pyrotechnics the scene in which Travolta fuses his soundtrack to a series of photos taken during the accident to make his own Zapruder like film may be the most spellbinding thing De Palma has ever filmed and a gut punch of an ending that can still be felt after 3. De Palmas masterpiece and a film permanently enshrined in my personal all time Ten Best list. Advertisement. 2 Femme Fatale 2. After pulling off a daring heist during a gala premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and double crossing her thuggish colleagues, a sexy thief Rebecca Romijn manages to escape France for a new life in America. Seven years later and now married to the U. S. ambassador Peter Coyote, she returns to find herself the target of an ambitious photographer Antonio Banderas and her recently released former partners. A total knockout from start to finish,this may be the most purely De Palma film of them allsmart, sexy, diabolically funny, both technically and dramatically audacious and anchored by a strong and fascinating female character Romijn more than lives up to the title hereand it is definitely his finest work since the peak of Blow Out. Phantom of the Paradise 1. Fusing together elements from Faust, Phantom of the Opera, The Picutre of Dorian Gray and bombastic rock acts like Alice Cooper and Led Zeppelin, De Palma next came up with this horror musical comedy in which an aspiring songwriter William Finley loses his work, voice and the love of his life Jessica Harper to a Phil Spector like music mogul Paul Williams and plots a gory revenge to coincide with the opening of the moguls new music palace, the Paradise. The blend of Grand Guignol style horror, sly satire aimed at the excesses of the music industry which can also be read as a reaction to the Get to Know Your Rabbit experience and a collection of tunes by Williams that are both witty and catchy resulted in one of De Palmas most wildly entertaining films, though one that mysteriously failed to connect with audiences at the time. Dressed to Kill 1. A sexually frustrated housewife Angie Dickinson. The actionthriller follows two cops who hunt down their fallen colleagues murderer.

De Palma Full Movie' title='De Palma Full Movie' />We list 10 differences between Kimberly Peirces 2013 Carrie remake Brian De Palmas original 1976 movie based on the 1974 Stephen King novel. Its been 20 months since Deadline broke the story of the Scarface duo of director Brian De Palma and Al Pacinos reteaming for Happy Valley. BRSIAF2idqp6hyDxeKXyJZb05w.jpg' alt='De Palma Full Movie' title='De Palma Full Movie' />Directed by Noah Baumbach, Jake Paltrow. With Brian De Palma. A documentary about writer and director Brian De Palma. A dedicated psychiatrist Michael Caine. A hooker with a mind for high finance Nancy Allen. A fateful trip to the museum. A mysterious blonde wielding a straight razor. Shower scenes and dream sequences aplenty. These were the ingredients that De Palma brought together for this masterful thriller that took its inspiration from Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho and then spun off into surreal, suspenseful and darkly funny areas of its own. When it was released in the summer of 1. Hitchcock were crossing the border into outright plagiarism a charge that was intensified when the film was released a couple of months after Hitchcocks death with an ad campaign describing De Palma as a modern master of suspense. Viewed today with those controversies having long since faded from memory, the film can now be viewed as one of his most supremely stylish efforts and one that still plays beautifully even today.

This crowd pleasing screen version of the old television show chronicling the Prohibition era war in the streets of Chicago between straight laced government agent Elliot Ness Kevin Costner and famed mob boss Al Capone Robert De Niro proved to one of the biggest hits of its year and of De Palmas entire career and it isnt hard to understand why. Utilizing a straightforward cinematic style reminiscent of the works of John Ford, an endlessly quotable screenplay by David Mamet and the undeniable star power of Costner, De Niro and Sean Connery who won an Oscar for his work as Ness partner and mentor, De Palma came up with a classic gangster saga that also allowed him to pull together amazing scenes like the raid on bootleggers on the Canadian border and the famous Battleship Potemkin inspired shootout on the steps of Union Station  with a baby beatifically bouncing between the bullets. Sure, any Chicagoan can tell you that the film is fairly suspect from a historical perspective but even the most nit picky of viewers will be too caught up in the action to care. Carrie 1. 97. 6 De Palma had his long awaited big commercial breakthrough with his adaptation of the Stephen King novel about an awkward teenage girl Sissy Spacek who gets revenge for years of torment at the hands of her cruel classmates including John Travolta, Nancy Allen and P. J. Soles and domineering mother Piper Laurie one fateful prom night when she unleashes her terrifying telekinetic powers on those who have wronged her. Instead of playing up the main characters paranormal abilities, De Palma instead concentrated on making her as touchingly human as possible in order to make her final humiliation all the more tragic and her eye popping vengeance all the more satisfying. The end result was a box office smash that earned Oscar nominations for Spacek and Laurie a feat almost unheard of at the time for the horror genre and still has viewers jumping in their seats during its legendary and much copied final jolt from beyond the grave. Passion 2. 01. 3 Corporate intrigue takes a brutal turn when the battle of wills between a devious executive at a multinational corporation Rachel Mc. Adams and her ambitious assistant Noomi Rapace grows from credit theft to public humiliation to bloody revenge. In remaking the 2. French thriller Love Crime, De Palma creates an extremely stylish work that embroiders upon the original in intriguing ways that transforms it from a mere retread into something that feels truly distinctive and personal. Christian Hendricks Starring in Next Brian De Palma Movie. If Jake Paltrow and Noah Baumbachs candid and surprisingly intimate doc De Palma left you even more hungry for another Brian De Palma film, then you should be happy to hear the filmmaker will shoot Domino in the coming months. Nikolaj Coster Waldau Game of Thrones and Christina Hendricks Mad Men are currently in talks to star in the crime thriller. The project, which Petter Skavland Kon Tiki wrote, will hit the market at the Cannes Film Festival in search for buyers this month. Below, learn more about the next Brian De Palma movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Coster Waldau will play a Copenhagen cop searching for his partners mysterious killer. The officer works with his late partners mistress, played by Hendricks, and another cop to find the man responsible for the murder. The game of cat and mouse involves a CIA Agent, an ISIS cell, and visits to Scandinavia and Spain which are two locations I want to see from De Palmas point of view. De Palma will shoot Domino this summer. Producer Michel Schnnemann is hoping to make a suspense filled thriller in the line of such classic as The French Connection I have been a huge fan of Brian De Palma ever since I saw Scarface in 1. So it is with great pride that I look forward to produce Domino, a script I have developed together with screenwriter Petter Skavlan. From the start, our ambitions have been to create a suspense filled thriller in the line of such classics as French Connection having Brian De Palma on board only heightens this ambition. Another thriller from a master of suspense starring Coster Waldau and Hendricks Count us in. De Palmas previous film, Passion, had its dark and gleeful appeal, with some stunning and comical sequences. In the five years since that remake came out, the filmmaker has worked on a few projects, such as that cancelled Al Pacino led Joe Paterno biopic, another thriller that wouldve reunited him with his Carlitos Way star, and a thriller set in China. While another collaboration between him and Pacino reads like a dream, that China set thriller, Lights Out, in particular, sounded like a story wed want to see from De Palma A blind Chinese girl unknowingly caught in a plot to expose a top secret assassination program. Although blind, she can use her other heightened senses to fight back and become a hero. De Palma has lined up some promising projects over the years, ones we wish we saw come to fruition faster, but the good news we may not have to wait too much longer for another De Palma thriller.
