by Douglas Keesey (Author)
What makes Brian De Palma such a maverick even when he is making Hollywood genre films? Why do his movies often feature megalomaniacs and failed heroes? Is he merely a misogynist and an imitator of Alfred Hitchcock? To answer these questions, Douglas Keesey takes a biographical approach to De Palma's cinema, showing how De Palma reworks events from his own life into his films.
