PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE
A rewatch of this DePalma classic has made me love it all the more. Brian De Palma is one of my favorite filmmakers and this film is infused with everything we love about him. The split screens, the blue lightning bolt, the songs, the camera movement. All are ingredients to this wonderfully bizarre musical. De Palma regular William Finley and Suspiria's Jessica Harper are perfectly cast in the paranoid fantasy that has one of the best endings from any DePalma film. In the battle against this and Rocky Horror, Phantom gets the edge.
A+
