Review of Phantom of the Paradise (1974) by Aurélien D — 10 Feb 2008
De Palma reinvents the musical film through this story of love, betrayal and creation...
Mixing Dorian Gray, Faust, Seventies ambience and Glam rock, it provides a unique and original vision and a glimpse of the unforgiven world of show business...
The soundtrack is splendid ("Old Souls", "Goodbye Eddie Goodbye") and the moral is desperate and edifying...
Magnificent.
