Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

  • Summary

  • Before there was Rocky Horror, Tommy, or The Wall, director Brian De Palma and Paul Williams teamed up to bring us a genre-defining rock opera that continues to stun audiences, further cementing its cult classic status. Phantom of the Paradise tells the story of a singer-songwriter whose opus is stolen from him by Swan, the one man who controls the world's popular music, and his descent into madness. Dan and Jon celebrate the music, the stunning visuals, and brilliant direction by De Palma. They also imagine ways that this film could be revisited for a modern audience.
