The silent museum sequence from Brian De Palma's "Dressed to Kill" (1980). Obviously inspired by "Vertigo" and Hitchcock in general.

Dec 22, 2007 - This is one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. The camerawork, pacing, editing, acting, music and (lack of) dialogue are all perfect. Brian De Palma is the only director who has ever successfully imitated Alfred Hitchcock's classic cinematic style. "Dressed to Kill" is a great movie and it is De Palma's best. This scene is completely fascinating. It accurately depicts the "cat and mouse" game that men and women play with each other.

May 25, 2008 - I repeat myself. This is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. This one truly shows how cinema works. It works in terms of visual storytelling.

Jun 7, 2008 - The music gets a little overdramatic towards the end...other than that...perfection.

Jun 18, 2008 - you don't know how many times i've felt like that. :Pbut that was really good, now I have to see it. especially before that freakin' dtv remake comes out.

Jul 6, 2008 - Maybe "Dressed to Kill" isn't de Palmas best movie (I think "Obsession", "Carrie" and "The Untouchables" argue about the first three places) but it contains the most unforgettable sequences (for example elevator, train, shower). This one is the absolutely best and the perfect example why I like the most of de Palma's movies until "Carlito's Way": He is able to create sequences of rare beauty and technical brilliance without (many) words. This sequence alone could be an excellent short movie.

Jul 19, 2008 - No i disagree,i think Dressed To Kill is one of his best films...Such class in direction..that's the word..class
StefanMcL Says:
Jul 19, 2008 - Of course your're right. It's one of his best movies - I agree to that. "Dressed to Kill" is in his Top Five. Without any doubts.

Aug 10, 2008 - While this is a favorite sequence, i have always wondered whether it would have worked better without the music track. The SFX, the off-camera and distant voices enhance the reality of the setting and would perhaps have added an eerie framework of normalcy to the museum stalk. I wonder if this would have built up the atmosphere during the chase even further. I have tried watching the scene without sound, but it needs the SFX and voices. Any thoughts?

Sep 19, 2008 - Anyone ever notice that near the end of this scene when she gets outside..as the camera pans across the crowd towards the taxi, just past the hot dog cart you can briefly see the killer in the blond wig and sunglasses, also looking towards the taxi! That is brilliant directing. Please message me if you spot it!
pornpeoplerock Says:
Sep 20, 2008 - yeah I also realized that. and you should also notice that by the time she starts walking towards the taxi, somebody picks up the glove on the floor. I also love this movie. The use of the camara is just amazing. Brian DePalma is a genious. Have you seen carrie btw?
tonicair Says:
Sep 21, 2008 - Oh yeah, Carrie is a classic, not nearly as good as this though. Great videos on your profile by the way...hot!
pornpeoplerock Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - ha ha. thanks. nice videos too. I actually like this movie better than Carrie, although I consider Carrie a fascinating movie! very scary movie! what's your favorite depalma movie? do you think his style of directing and making movies have changed?
jsbach15 Says:
Nov 29, 2008 - Yep, you're correct. I did see the killer in the blond wig just as you've stated, however, I don't think it was was the principle actor (don't want to mention the name in case someone hasn't seen the movie).
