De Palma

De Palma (2016) is a feature-length documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow sat Brian De Palma down for 108 minutes and let him talk — no outside voices, no narration. Just a filmmaker walking through 55 years: from early student work to Carrie, Blow Out, Scarface, The Untouchables, and the notorious Bonfire of the Vanities.

De Palma is candid about the misfires as much as the hits — the split-screen logic, the slow-motion setpieces, the Hitchcock debt he spent decades trying to outrun. If filmmaking as craft interests you, this is a rare document: one of the New Hollywood generation taking apart his own decisions, failure by failure. Watch De Palma (2016) online on iFILM.
