SISTERS TO SCREEN AT METROGRAPH AUGUST 23, AS PART OF "TWISTED SISTER" SERIES
Brian De Palma's Sisters will screen at Metrograph in New York on August 23rd. It's part of the theater's "Twisted Sister" series, which runs through the month of August. Here's the Metrograph description of Sisters:
“What the Devil hath joined together let no man cut asunder!” Future Lois Lane Margot Kidder plays French Canadian twins, one murderously deranged, the other dangerously protective of her, in De Palma's bravura deconstruction of Psycho, a Hitchcockian thriller that doubles as an inspired essay on the Hitchcockian thriller, one of scanty few New York City movies to remember that Staten Island is one of the city's boroughs, and a work of complete visceral pleasure from the first notes of Bernard Herrmann’s score (and the film's Candid Camera parodying rug-pull open) to the last blood curdling shriek. Having gotten his first real taste of blood in this, his first bona fide thriller, De Palma would keep on twisting the knife. There was no going back.
