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 Sisters, Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, The Untouchables, and even the first Mission: Impossible. In this lively, illuminating, and unexpectedly moving documentary, directors Noah Baumbach (Mistress America) and Jake Paltrow (Young Ones) 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—running with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Paul Schrader, and Martin Scorsese—to his more recent years as a respected veteran of the field. What emerges is a funny, honest, and incisive portrait of a truly one-of-a-kind artist, and an exhilarating behind-the-scenes look at the last 50 years of the film industry through the eyes of someone who has truly seen it all. Entertainment industry docs don’t get more fascinating—or entertaining—than this.
