- Title
Cinema of Failed Revolt: Brian De Palma and the Death(s) of the Left.
- Authors
Dumas, Chris
- Abstract
Focusing particularly on his first studio feature, Get to Know Your Rabbit (1970), this essay argues that Brian De Palma, director of Scarface (1983) and Body Double (1984), is an exemplar of Godardian "political" filmmaking. Potential consonances between De Palma's career and the historical development of Film Studies as a discipline are also outlined.
