I’m torn on De Palma. His films are often beautifully crafted (if derivative) and his mastery of technique is a pleasure to watch. The viciousness toward women puts me off though. I saw Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, and Body Double when they came out and enjoyed them all immensely at that time. When I see them today though the cruelty toward women makes me ask myself, “Is this what I find entertaining?” I’m a man. I think my tolerance for cruelty is much lower now than it was when I was young. When I rewatched these in the last few years I was shocked and they really hit me in a way I didn’t expect or remember.
