94. Brian De Palma's Sisters (1972)
Manage episode 449398205 series 2921165
Not actually about Brian De Palma's female siblings, this film is instead about Brian De Palma weird, hazy, perhaps deeply subconscious feelings about white women, their role in society, their capabilities as functional humans, and the role that black men play in his feelings. Also, it's a Hitchcockian something-or-other in a decidedly pre-masterpiece phase of Brian's directorial development. Call it De Palchcockian. Anyway, it's actually a pretty enjoyable flick most of the time, and warms our very specific cockles due to its precursoriness to Basket Case, a film especially beloved by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast you can turn to for sound financial and lifestyle expertise.
