Is this genius or trash?

Is this genius or trash?

I don't know man, When i first watched it didn't think it was especially good or bad.

But it kinda stuck in my mind and i kept thinking about it. The music helps also

sort of both, which is De Palma's main appeal

He plagiarises Hitchcock so blatantly but also takes the scopophiliac aesthetic to its logical conclusion.

Whatever happened to Craig Wasson?

Remake when? This and Dressed to Kill - imagine all the triggered feminists and traps.

This looks like it's basically a porn parody of Rear Window.

It is genius in the trashiness

The entire point in Body Double is that he is plagiarizing Hitchcock my man.

He received so much criticism for some of his movies do to the perceived misogyny of his films as well as his liberal borrowing of Hitchcock material. Body Double was a deliberate fuck you to the critics so it drenches itself in all of the aspects of his work that had attracted so much ire in the past.

Fuck. I am drunk.

Meant "due" of course.

I mean Body double is literally just vertigo taking place in the 80's mixed with porn and rear window.

I ain't even mad because of how in your face it is.

Everything by De Palma is shit. Fucking annoying director.

>yfw when Kazuhira Miller is watching a woman undress

Genius.

IMO not really good, but it has it's moments. De Palma had better thrillers like Dressed To Kill and Sisters. Even Raising Cain, which is ultra trash, was more enjoyable for me.

>There are people who consider the film "smart" because of this.
haha yeah that guy said I eat shit so I went and ate it ain't I smart psshht

What the fuck have you plebs in your dumb brains?

DePalma is great and Body Double is one of his masterpieces. There's nothing 'trash' about his genre cinema and references/homages.
When Sup Forums isn't discussing capeshit, it's this kind of shitposting, fuck

at least I don't think hack trash like De Palma is good.

So, a tards and baiters thread.

it's awesome, especially with the frankie goes to hollywood soundtrack.
Could be that i have so fond memories of it because i was aournd 10-12 when i first saw it and it made a big impression on me at the time

it's postmodern genius
80s de palma is criminally underappreciated (blow out is another GREAT one), I still can't wrap my mind around the way people fail to understand that he is intentionally makiing fun of his protagonists
his being marketed as "the new hitchcock" is proof that we are living in a post-irony society

IT'S NOT A FUCKING THRILLER YOU GENRESHIT MONGOLOID, BODY DOUBLE IS PURE CINÉMA ART

>, I still can't wrap my mind around the way people fail to understand that he is intentionally makiing fun of his protagonists

They get it. It's still shit.

>De Palma
>Not conventional genre trash

what did he mean by this?

no it is subversive beautiful zeitgeist genius
a vulgar porn star is the perfect 80s leading lady and you know it
it's too bad he gave up and let more recent stuff get so hacky, if you read interviews from the time he knew exactly what he was doing

>ART
Top kek.

>If I know I'm eating shit I'm genius.
"no"

rear window was always begging for a good parody
I mean Jimmy Stewart as a perverted cripple? It's just amazing to me that you can take that with a straight face
