Brian de Palma by John Ashbrook
Considers the career of Brian De Palma, who is more consistent than Coppola, more versatile than Scorsese, and less of a self-publicist than Spielberg. The man who discovered Robert De Niro and pursued a life-long cinematic adoration of Hitchcock. The book covers the work of this somewhat ignored genius from his roots in sixties counter-culture, to the top of Hollywood's A list. All films are reviewed and analysed, especially his latest, twenty-fifth feature film, Mission to Mars'.'-
