| Summary | Annotation Brian De Palma is perhaps best known as the director behind the gangster classicScarface. Yet as ingrained asScarfaceis in American popular culture, it is but one of a sizeable number of controversial filmsmany of which are consistently misread or ignoreddirected by De Palma over his more than four-decade career. InUn-American Psycho,Chris Dumas places De Palmas body of work in dialogue with the works of other provocative filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and Francis Ford Coppola with the aim of providing a broader understanding of the narrative, stylistic, and political gestures that characterize De Palmas filmmaking. De Palmas films engage with a wide range of issues surrounding American political and social culture, and this volume offers a rethinking of the received wisdom on his work. |
