Viewing Notes
I think I like this more every time I revisit it; and the more I watch it the more it feels like a De Palma movie and a ‘40s noir. The cinematography is outstanding as is the production design and costuming.

Coincidentally I made a note a couple days ago to ask if you owned this. Wanted to borrow bc I’ve never seen it.
