Brian De Palma, Al Pacino and Steven Bauer on-set Scarface (1983)
Watched Scarface for the second time yesterday. That film is a goddamned (camp) masterpiece. I love you, Brian De Palma. I love you, Pacino’s insanity. I love you, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio’s curly bangs afro. I love you, Elvira Hancock. Love you, Manny, Chi Chi, Eddie. Love you, yellow Caddy with the tiger print interior.
Tony Montana is the radical embodiment of capitalism’s existential crisis.
