The ultimate synthesis of horror and rock 'n' roll, Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is an explosion of music, madness, and the director's trademark camera style, complete with prowling cameras and split screens. William Finley stars as Winslow Leach, an aspiring songwriter who is betrayed by Mephistophelean record mogul Swan (Paul Williams, who also wrote the Oscar-nominated song score). His scarred face covered with a silver mask, Leach sets out to avenge himself upon Swan and reclaim his music. Co-starring SUSPIRIA's Jessica Harper as Phoenix, the singer who catches both Leach and Swan's eye, and Gerrit Graham in a hilarious performance as over-the-top glam rock singer "Beef," PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE didn't find success upon initial release, but has since won legions of fans. Whether you're one of them or a newbie who has never experienced it before, come see PHANTOM in all its colorful, big-screen glory! (Tommy Swenson)
