"BRIAN ALWAYS GOT A KICK OUT OF WHATEVER WE TRIED AS ACTORS"
The New York Times posted "Robert De Niro’s Top Picks for the Tribeca Film Festival" the other day, and right at the top of the list was tonight's 35th anniversary restoration screening of Brian De Palma's Scarface. "I worked with De Palma in our younger days on The Wedding Party," De Niro told the NY Times. "Then Greetings and Hi, Mom! Brian always got a kick out of whatever we tried as actors, whether it was improv or other things, he got great joy out of watching us. I remember when Al was thinking about directors for Scarface, telling him, 'I hope you do it with De Palma.'"Meanwhile, here's what Time Out New York's Joshua Rothkopf posted about tonight's screening in an article titled, "The 10 best movies at Tribeca Film Festival 2018" -- "A slutty piece of Giorgio Moroder–drenched ’80s decadence that has since become a culture-changing classic (funny how we critics sometimes get it wrong), Brian De Palma’s lurid 1983 crime saga is endlessly quotable. And say hello to our little friends: De Palma, Al Pacino, Steven Bauer and the fearless Michelle Pfeiffer will reunite for an onstage conversation afterward."
