Overview

Master of the psychological thriller, De Palma has consistently demonstrated a fluent and inventive cinematic style. Criticized for imitating Hitchcock (with whom he worked), De Palma's output - which certainly pays homage to Hitchcock, differs strikingly in subject matter and technique. This book follows De Palma's fortunes as he makes the transition from underground filmmaker to celebrity auteur. He emerges as a complex figure never afraid to share his opinions about censorship, violence, feminism, modern culture, and the fate of cinema in the twenty-first century. Inc. Chronology, Filmography and comprehensive Index.
