DRESSED TO KILL

what a great stylish motherfucker brian de palma is. what a great spectacle he puts together. what incredible visuals.

the story is a bit shit though, particulary in light of our trans-friendly decade, but not really because of that which can be understood and forgiven historically, but primarily because as a murder mystery it's solveable in the first 20 minutes and from then on it's just things unfolding in super-predictable ways.

fabulous cinematography and editing, derivative and meh writing. some great cast and performances.

watch the unrated version in the criterion bluray for maximum spectacle. amazing visual language & technical fireworks. while the writing is hitchcock diminished, the visuals are hitchcock on 'roids. the last shot of the scene before last would make a magnificent baroque painting.
