There's a certain popular image of the dangerous American 1980s that was at least partly defined by the cinema of Brian De Palma, whether that’s the narcotics fuelled Miami nights of Scarface, the paranoia of Blow Out or the steamy mystery of Dressed to Kill and Body Double. De Palma earned a reputation as the bad boy of New Hollywood; this new documentary from Directors Noah Baumbach (Mistress America, While We’re Young) and Jake Paltrow (Young Ones) charts that development from De Palma’s early work, to 70’s success with Carrie, through to his famous 1980’s and more contemporary work.
Judging from the new official trailer, De Palma seems to present a candid, incisive and unrepentant conversation with the filmmaker. Check out the new poster and trailer from StudioCanal here:
