In their intimate and insightful documentary De Palma, directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow sit down with the legendary filmmaker to discuss his audacious career. With no authorial voices included, the film takes the form of a two-hour introspective monologue, in which the maestro reflects on his directorial approach and why he loves filming beautiful women so much. Digital Editor Violet Lucca spoke with FILM COMMENT and Film Society Editorial Director Michael Koresky, and critic Ashley Clark, about their takes on the documentary and Brian De Palma's thrilling films, including Dressed to Kill, Carlito's Way, Carrie, and Femme Fatale.
