The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 60 (Dressed to Kill)
The Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we continue our DEPALMARCH marathon also known as 4 DECADES OF DE PALMA by moving up a decade from the 70s to the 80s in order to talk about arguably one of Brian De Palma's most controversial movies, Dressed to Kill. Over the course of our discussion you will hear us talk about how De Palma's directorial prowess and a knack for crafting memorable set pieces elevate the movie, how much it owes to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, how it is at its core a deeply personal movie, how it functions as an overt giallo film and much, much more!
