Obsession 1976
Watched on Apple TV
First Brian De Palma film I’ve ever seen. I feel so late to the game. A vertigo remake is really what this film feels like. Seems to be that Hitchcock is his boy. I loved the music in the film, also Bernard Hermann.

He's the king of crane shots, and king of making such small specific choices that stand out, thinking of the woman dropping the seat…

I wished I'd seen this sooner, but sitting in an audience watching this with a full crowd was so much fun, and feels like the perfect way to…
