Although infrequent movie watchers might be most familiar with filmmaker Brian De Palma’s Scarface and Mission Impossible, his most prolific era actually came between 1972-1981, which is what filmmaker and book author Laurent Bouzereau refers to as “The De Palma Decade” in his new book of the same name. Beginning with De Palma’s 1972 film Sisters, and ending with his 1981 film Blow Out, Bouzereau break down the iconic filmmaker’s themes and thought process when developing each work within this decade. For this week’s FilmWeek feature, we’ll sit down with Laurent Bouzereau, author of the new book “The De Palma Decade: Redefining Cinema with Doubles, Voyeurs, and Psychic Teens,” and get into how this pioneer of New Hollywood cinema made his mark.
