Margot Kidder in Sisters 1972
The Big Picture The 1970s saw the emergence of many directors within the “New Hollywood” movement that changed the industry through their subversive and challenging filmmaking style. Chief among them was Brian De Palma, a filmmaker whose aptitude for violence and sexual extremism struck a bold contrast against mainstream American suspense cinema.
Release Date November 18, 1972 Director Brian De Palma Cast Margot Kidder , Jennifer Salt , Charles Durning , William Finley , Lisle Wilson Runtime 93 Minutes Main Genre Thriller Writers Brian De Palma , Louisa Rose What Is ‘Sisters’ About? Set within the world of New York City advertising, Sisters is a suspense thriller about a case of mistaken identity.
2:03 Related The Legendary Thriller That Forced the MPAA Into Existence The origins of cinematic neo-noirs can be traced to this existentialist thriller from filmmaker Michaelangelo Antonioni. De Palma perfectly intertwines eroticism with violence to heighten the level of suspense. The suggestion that Danielle could be violent means that any sexual encounters feature an undercurrent of anxiety, as “Dominique” could potentially take over.
As loving as his homages are, De Palma subverts Hitchcock’s style by incorporating more graphic content. Hitchcock was limited by the constraints of the rating system, and often alluded to more disturbing content than he could actually show on screen. The Psycho shower scene is famous for deceiving viewers into thinking they saw more nudity and blood than Hitchcock actually included.
