[Mateo Ellacott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read for fans of De Palma; really served to further underscore just how much of a kindred spirit I find him to be personally and politically even outside of the art. All the stories about his fellow Movie Brats Scorsese/Spielberg/Lucas were fascinating. The French interviewers he was conversing with for the entirety of the book were more thoughtful and well-studied about BDP’s work than I even expected from an exercise like this. Cool to have confirmed that his next film Sweet Vengeance is something he’s been thinking about for at least a decade or so

Great book about de Palma and 'the Movie Brats', about the changes in the last 50 years in Hollywood.
