Intrinsically Profane

Obsession (1976)

Jarrod Nelson and Jordan Petersen Kamp

Jarrod and Jordan discuss the second of Schrader's two scripts released in 1976, the Brian De Palma-directed Obsession. Topics include John Lithgow's wild accent, Hitchcock's Vertigo, and the compatibility of De Palma's stylistic flourishes with Schrader's dour script.
