Brian De Palma's "Body Double" (1984) was initially seen as provocative and a response to criticism, but is now recognized as a misunderstood masterpiece.
The film's extreme elements—gory, violent, sexy—paired with its playful self-awareness create a unique style that only De Palma could realize.
Reflecting on the criticism he faced, De Palma noted, ‘You're always judged by the style of the day, but sometimes the style of the day is not the right way to appraise something innovative.’
Despite its initial failure and criticism, De Palma's body of work is now being reassessed, with "Body Double" emerging as a significant and creative cinematic piece.
