# REDIRECT Brian De Palma

Brian Russell De Palma ( born September 11, 1940 ) is an American film director and writer.

Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, De Palma worked repeatedly with actors Jennifer Salt, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen ( his wife from 1979 to 1983 ), Gary Sinise, John Lithgow, William Finley, Charles Durning, Gerrit Graham, cinematographers Stephen H. Burum and Vilmos Zsigmond ( see List of noted film director and cinematographer collaborations ), set designer Jack Fisk, and composers Bernard Herrmann, John Williams and Pino Donaggio.

De Palma is credited with fostering the careers of or outright discovering Robert De Niro, Jill Clayburgh, John C. Reilly, John Leguizamo, Andy Garcia and Margot Kidder.

De Palma, whose background is Italian Roman Catholic, was born in Newark, New Jersey, the son of Vivienne ( née Muti ) and Anthony Federico De Palma, an orthopedic surgeon.

Enrolled at Columbia as a physics student, De Palma became enraptured with the filmmaking process after viewing Citizen Kane and Vertigo.

De Palma subsequently enrolled at the newly coed Sarah Lawrence College as a graduate student in their theater department in the early 1960s, becoming one of the first male students among a female population.

Once there, influences as various as drama teacher Wilford Leach, the Maysles brothers, Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, Andy Warhol and Alfred Hitchcock impressed upon De Palma the many styles and themes that would shape his own cinema in the coming decades.

De Palma followed this with various small films for the NAACP and The Treasury Department.

During the 1960s, De Palma began making a living producing documentary films, notably The Responsive Eye, a 1966 movie about The Responsive Eye op-art exhibit curated by William Seitz for Museum of Modern Art in 1965.

In an interview with Gelmis from 1969, De Palma described the film as " very good and very successful.

The film records The Performance Group's performance of Euripides ’ The Bacchae, starring, amongst others, De Palma regular William Finley.

De Palma recalls that he was “ floored ” by this performance upon first sight, and in 1973 recounts how he " began to try and figure out a way to capture it on film.

After the success of his 1968 breakthrough, De Palma and his producing partner ( Charles Hirsch ) were given the opportunity by Sigma 3 to make an unofficial sequel of sorts, initially entitled Son of Greetings, and subsequently released as Hi, Mom !.

De Palma describes the sequence as a constant invocation of Brechtian distanciation: “ First of all, I am interested in the medium of film itself, and I am constantly standing outside and making people aware that they are always watching a film.

It is precisely from this crudity that the film itself gains a credibility of “ realism .” In an interview with Michael Bliss, De Palma notes “ Black, Baby was rehearsed for almost three weeks ...

In the 1970s, De Palma went to Hollywood where he worked on bigger budget films.

In 1970, De Palma left New York for Hollywood at age thirty to make Get To Know Your Rabbit, starring Orson Welles and Tommy Smothers.

Making the film was a crushing experience for De Palma as Tommy Smothers didn't like a lot of De Palma's ideas.
