The pussies who administrate You Tube won’t allow the explosive finale of Brian DePalma‘s The Fury (’78) to be seen on Hollywood Elsewhere, but here’s the YouTube link.
When I first saw it in ’78 I thought The Fury was a fairly ridiculous film. It probably still is. I remember feeling genuinely sorry for Kirk Douglas, who was stuck with a character whose behavior made little sense. But the mad operatic finish makes up for most of the pain and frustration.
Amy Irving‘s ‘you go to hell!”…John Cassevetes‘ body blown into shards of meat, blood and bone…John Williams‘ riveting score. Only peak Brian DePalma (a period that started with Phantom of the Paradise and ended with The Untouchables) could have done this.
Again, the link.
