	Brian De Palma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		De Palma is often cited as a leading member of the Movie Brat generation of film directors, a distinct pedigree who either emerged from film schools or are overtly cine-literate.
		De Palma's chief entrance into the mainstream has been his public image (fostered by De Palma in the early 1980s and later rejected as counterproductive) as a combative and controversial director of sex and violence.
		De Palma, a veteran of the New York underground scene, had yet to produce a certifiable commercial hit by 1975, while his friends Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese benefitted from a comparatively larger financial and critical windfall.

		De Palma's first film to gain theatrical release was 1968's Murder a la Mod, and the first to accrue critical approval was a trendy antiwar tome called Greetings (1968), again with the Brooklyn boy who by this time was known as Robert De Niro.
		Carrie (1976), De Palma's most successful film to that date (and still one of the most successful Stephen King adaptations), marked a return to the split-screen technique and wrapped the story up with another of De Palma's trademarks, the "false shock" ending which turns out to be a nightmare.
		De Palma next explored a different kind of violence in Casualties of War (1989), a Vietnam War film that centered on the outrageous mistreatment of a Vietnamese woman by a platoon of American soldiers.

	AMCTV.com - Brian De Palma biograhpy
		Celebrated, vilified, called auteur, genius, and thief, Brian De Palma was one of the few directors of the late 20th century whose name on the credits could ensure success at the boxoffice.
		De Palma attended Columbia University as a physics major before he began making his own 16mm films and earning a fellowship to Sarah Lawrence College, where he filmed his first movie, The Wedding Party, in 1964 (unreleased until 1969) with a young unknown named Bobby DeNiro as part of the cast.
		De Palma began to draw criticism and accusations of misogyny with the stylish thrillers Dressed to Kill (1980) and Blow Out (1981) (the latter undoubtedly one of his best films), criticism that continued with the ultra violent Scarface (1983) and the controversial Body Double (1984).

	Brian De Palma
		De Palma's fascination with the dual role of the gifted young person as a heroic ideal and outsider is illustrated in Carrie and The Fury (1978).
		While De Palma may peripherally examine larger social issues of institutional, professional and political corruption, as in Scarface (1983), The Untouchables (1987) and The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), the director regards himself as an artist and not a polemicist.
		Although De Palma works primarily in the genre of the psychological thriller, elements of romance, horror and gangster melodramas are explored as well.

		Brian De Palma: Oh, it took us, we broke it up in, I think it's like four sections and it took us almost ten days to do it.

		By the mid-1980s De Palma found himself assaulting his audience and critics, daring them to watch a chainsaw enter a man's skull in Scarface and a power drill disembowel a defenseless woman in Body Double.
		De Palma sought the refuge of Alfred Hitchcock until the late 1970s (Sisters, Obsession), when his surreal approach to horror became a genre unto itself (Carrie, The Fury, Dressed to Kill).
		De Palma is not afraid to share his opinions about censorship, violence, feminism, American culture, and the fate of cinema in the twenty-first century.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Femme Fatale" review (2002) Brian De Palma, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Antonio Banderas
		De Palma employs some of his favorite visual techniques (split screen, tracking shots, perspective shots, extreme slow-motion) with terrific, tension-mounting results, and Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Bolero"-like score lends the film a wonderfully moody opulence that is perfectly in sync with the succulent performances of its stars.
		Former model Romijn-Stamos ("X-Men," "Rollerball") is a revelation in the title role, showing unexpected range as her savvy character adopts personalities and accents to suit several situations (not to mention her short but pivotal performance as the inconsolable widow).
		But just as De Palma crashed and burned after 45 minutes of near-genius in 1998's "Snake Eyes," the writer-director's Big Twist in this film rips so many holes in the plot that after all the cerebral stimulation, it may be hard to not feel let down by the finale.

		During his early years, De Palma experienced an event that left with him a sensation of intense terror: his two brothers were playing and young Brian hid behind a refrigerator and got stuck; eventually, he had to cry out for help.
		Brian De Palma cares, and one thing often ignored in light of the Hitchcock criticism is the director's pointed and cutting sense of humor.
		The spirituality of De Palma's cinema is rarely remarked on, perhaps because of the supposed tawdriness of the genres he works in.

	SCARFACE (1983)
		The first view stems from one basic argument: that unlike De Palma protagonists before and since, Pacino's Tony Montana has few inner virtues to be threatened or lost in the course of the story.
		A convict expelled from Cuba in 1980 when emigration to the U.S. is briefly opened, he enters Miami's underworld with a lust for power and material wealth that we witness more in awe than in empathy.
		Since a quick rise and fall is assured from the start, our hope is that De Palma's skill at portraying the outrageous potential of human greed will be enough to keep us hooked.

		De Palma always makes you see that what you see is not your own vision.
		That said, it occupies my number two spot because it is so uncompromising, so complex in the responses it manages to provoke, so complex in the way it is constructed from a purely visual standpoint, and politically and morally astute without ever denying the humanity of anyone in the situation, American or Vietnamese.
		De Palma movies I long to revisit include The Fury, Home Movies, Wise Guys, Raising Cain, Mission to Mars and The Bonfire of the Vanities.
