Brian De Palma

What makes a Brian De Palma film a Brian De Palma film

Across 22 films, they run somewhat more paranoia than films in general. Their films resemble each other far more than any 22 films picked at random would, which is what makes one recognisable before anybody says who directed it.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
