AND KENT JONES REVISITS DE PALMA'S WORK W/HIS SONS - "ALL ABSOLUTELY STUNNED"
The Hollywood Reporter's Gregg Kilday writes, "Brian De Palma is having a moment." Anticipating the upcoming screening of De Palma at the New York Film Festival, Kilday talked to NYFF director Kent Jones. "I remember the excitement I felt when I saw Dressed to Kill and Blow Out for the first time," Jones tells Kilday. "I went back to see both of them again a day later. During that time, there was a great debate about De Palma — he was hopelessly derivative of Hitchcock, he was a misogynist, he did sequences but not films, his stories didn't come together and so on. I fell into some of that punitive stuff myself."Kilday writes that after watching De Palma, Jones was persuaded to revisit sevveral of De Palma's films. "My sons and I looked at them together, and we were all absolutely stunned," Jones said to Kilday. "He was and is a great filmmaker, end of story."
