At times he was unfairly dismissed as a Hitchcock copycat; other times he was misunderstood for his peculiar mix of sexuality, humor, and violence. But, over the course of ten years, he created a new cinematic language, melding his signature themes with specific filmmaking techniques that are now synonymous with his name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Acclaimed filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau explores the seven films that came to define the De Palma decade: \u003ci\u003eSisters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhantom of the Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eObsession\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCarrie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fury\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDressed to Kill\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBlow Out\u003c\/i\u003e.
