De Palma's best film


Here is De Palma’s masterpiece, and the rarest of things: a perfect movie. Hyperbole, you say? Absolutely not — this is a meticulously constructed, staggeringly filmed work that has De Palma putting everything he knows about cinema up on the screen, and employing it flawlessly. And it all ends with one great scream: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/features/essential-de-palma/

I totally agree. In my opinion, Blow Out is Brian De Palma's best film. Brian used all of his favorite cinema techniques such as split screen, split diopter, point of view shots and other various shot that he used in such a captivating way.
