I hope you will review Obsession (1976), not as gory and fun as the other three but is a nice Vertigo (1958) ripoff.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"De Palma himself calls it a "dark sexual fantasy", and that's probably the best description of it."<br /><br />He is quite good at this though, just watch The Black Dahlia (2006) & Femme Fatale (2002). Recently he has done another one coming soon with Noomi Rapace.<br /><br /><br />"He did a lot of research on transsexualism and became more and more fascinated by the thing called "gender discomfort", which also caused some discomfort among his friends:"<br /><br />I suppose John Milius was very uncomfortable....but interesting facts...never heard that before. <br /><br /><br /><br />"I'm probably not the only person who thought about this, but have you noticed the interesting connection between Dressed to Kill, Blow Out and Body Double?"<br /><br /><br />Never thought about it...been years since saw any of these film.....great review Ninja.<br /><br />MegatronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
