Brian De Palma Mystery Marathon: Prince Charles Cinema, 11.15pm
Prince Charles Cinema introduction:
In 2024 our Mystery Movie Nights will come with a theme, and this one is... BRIAN DE PALMA!One of the most influential and acclaimed directors of the 21st century, join us for a night of De Palma films back to back! No clues, no hints, no refunds.
There are few better cinematic pleasures for a dedicated cinephile than sitting in a darkened theatre to watch a Brian De Palma film (and here is Adrian Martin and Cristina Álvarez López's MUBI audiovisual essay and text on the great filmmaker. This promises to be a hugely enjoyable evening for fans of the director. I presume there will be a few crowd pleasers this evening but this would be my wish-list, based on the fact that it's been years since these had a UK screening, if at all:
Hi, Mom! (1970)
Sisters (1972)
Obsession (1976)
Dressed to Kill (1980)
Raising Cain (1992)
Femme Fatale (2002)
Here (and above) is Mark Cousins' 'Scene by Scene' programme with De Palma.
