“De Palma” (*** out of four) was an affectionately made documentary about legendary filmmaker Brian De Palma who is interviewed and documents his career of films, from his hits (“Carrie”, “The Untouchables”, “Mission: Impossible”) to his misses (“The Bonfire Of The Vanities”, “Mission To Mars”) to his misunderstood classics (“Blow Out”, “Casualties Of War”, “Scarface”). Nothing groundbreaking but an interesting look at a filmmaker who grew up as a Hitchcock film student and poured his creativity into a career that has spanned well-over five decades. A treat for De Palma fans but worth watching for film lovers and film students in general.
