Phantom Of The Paradise
1974, 87 minutes, Rated M
From the Director of Scarface and The Untouchables. Brian de Palma's glam gothic horror classic! Grammy Award-winning songwriter Paul Williams stars as the villainous Swan, a maniacal record mogul and head of "Death Records" who uses the brilliant, naive Winslow Leach to compose a rock cantata for his all-conquering, campy rock opera to be performed at the Paradise theatre.
Framed for drug dealing and sent to 'Sing Sing' prison, Winslow reappears as a deformed superhero to haunt the rock impresario, and to ensure his dream girl Phoenix is allowed to sing his cantata. With its sharp, witty dialogue, schlock special effects, Academy Award-nominated soundtrack, and metaphorical critique of the evils of corporate capitalism, Phantom of the Paradise remains a much-loved cult classic.
