Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's new documentary De Palma is a fascinating, career-spanning look at a man born to tell stories visually.
All of virtuoso filmmaker Brian De Palma's classics are touched upon - Sisters, Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, The Untouchables, Carlito's Way - each providing an insightful, often humor-filled glimpse into the process of one of cinema's most engaging-yet-polarizing technicians.
Briskly paced and full of wonderful big-screen memories tailor-made for a darkened theater, De Palma is simply a film geek's dream and easily one of the best films of the year. Grade: A
