Viewing Notes

Hugely influenced by European cinema, this is a master work from De Palma and one I’ve been meaning to revisit for a long time. So many split diopter shots in this, though they’re not as obvious here as in some of his other work.

Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie give outstanding performances.
