Tony schlock (and an homage to Antonioni's Blow-up!), elevated by De Palma and his cast to something between art and an ABC After School Special.

I see this every few years, i.e., every chance I get, since the first time. It's just as powerful now. And I only found out this viewing it was directed by the first black woman to direct for a major film studio, Euzhan Palcy, and all this, during South African apartheid. See Cry the Beloved Country, sure, but it feels like Disney compared with this story. Thanks, Criterion.
