    In this video essay we look at Brian De Palma's Carrie, the ground-breaking horror film from 1976, starring Sissy Spacek. In the second of our New Hollywood Series, we discuss how De Palma combines the suspense techniques of Alfred Hitchcock (Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo) with the self awareness of directors like Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Contempt).

    We can all agree Brian De Palma is the greatest, right?

    The discarded image is the platonic ideal of youtube. Such stunning work every freaking time. Instead we get cats farting with millions of views. It's not just. It's not fair. I do feel like each episode is dropped specifically with me in mind though.

      if you're not into horror then Carrie might be a good film for you - despite it falling into the horror category i didn't find it scary at all but more of a teen fairy-tale gone wrong. Sissy Spacek's performance is definitely worth checking out, she should have won the Oscar.

      We haven't ironed that all out yet. It's tough narrowing them down as there's so many great ones. Even when you select a director, say like Robert Altman, it's tough to choose whether to do MASH or McCabe, or The Long Goodbye, or Nashville, or Three Women!
