One of the most talented, influential, and iconoclastic filmmakers of
all time, Brian De Palma’s career started in the 60s and has included
such acclaimed and diverse films as CARRIE, DRESSED TO KILL, BLOW OUT,
SCARFACE, THE UNTOUCHABLES and CARLITO’S WAY. In this lively,
illuminating and unexpectedly moving documentary,
directors Noah
Baumbach and Jake Paltrow
engage in a personal and candid discussion
with De Palma, exploring not only his life and work but also his
singular approach to the craft of filmmaking and his remarkable
experiences navigating the film business, from his early days as the bad
boy of New Hollywood to his more recent years as a respected veteran of
the field.
