Blow Out
Sunday, February 4–Tuesday, February 6
(1981, 35mm, 108m) dir Brian De Palma w/John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow. Sound engineer Jack (Travolta) accidentally records evidence of an accident, or is it murder? De Palma, master of the homage, rewrites the neo-noir script in red, white, and blue.
At Perisphere, Penny Folger discusses the ever-hot topic of female characters’ screen treatment in Brian De Palma’s Blow Out, and Chris Polley draws parallels between Jack Terry’s and Brian De Palma’s obsessive tendencies.
