This week on Just That Film Podcast, we're revisiting Scarface (1983), Brian De Palma's iconic crime epic starring Al Pacino in one of the most unforgettable performances of his career.

Written by Oliver Stone, Scarface tells the rise and fall of Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who stops at nothing in his pursuit of power, wealth, and the American Dream. Once criticised by many critics on release, the film has since become one of the most influential and celebrated gangster movies ever made.

In this episode, we discuss Al Pacino's explosive performance, Brian De Palma's stylish direction, Oliver Stone's screenplay, Giorgio Moroder's unforgettable score, the film's shocking violence, its lasting cultural impact, and whether Scarface still deserves its legendary status more than 40 years later.

Join us as we revisit one of cinema's greatest crime films and decide whether Scarface remains the ultimate gangster movie or if its reputation has grown beyond the film itself.
