INTRIGUE, ANGER, RESPECT - LINGERING SUBSTANCE UNDERNEATH A SIGNATURE VISUAL STYLE
"We take on Brian De Palma in this week’s episode of Through the Booth Window," Caitlin Stow posted on Instagram a few days ago. "I watched ELEVEN De Palma films to prepare for this and I gotta say I don’t regret a second of it…well, except for the seconds spent watching Redacted…but other than that! Available wherever pods are podding."
Stow's co-host, Joey Bauer, mistakenly tells special guest Craig Leman that De Palma has never written any of the screenplays to his movies, so you can see right away that while their discussion of De Palma's films seems thoughtful and intelligent, it is not exactly fully-informed, nor well-researched. Here's the episode description:
Brian De Palma has been called a genius and a hack, but you can't deny that he makes a memorable film. This week, joined by special guest Craig Leman, we dig into De Palma's filmography to talk about his sleazy atmospheres, signature visual style, and confounding depiction of women.Spoiled in this episode: Blow Out, Dressed to Kill, Body Double, Redacted.
