#78 - Um Tiro na Noite



Um Tiro na Noite
Blow Out

EUA, 1981
Dir.: Brian De Palma

"[It is] a movie which continues [De Palma's] practice of making cross-references to other movies, other directors, and actual historical events, and which nevertheless is his best and most original work. (...) In Blow Out there are such Hitchcock hallmarks as a shower scene (played this time for laughs rather than for the chills of Dressed to Kill), several grisly murders in unexpected surroundings, violence in public places, and a chase through Philadelphia on the anniversary of the ringing of the Liberty Bell. (...) Best of all, this movie is inhabited by a real cinematic intelligence. The audience isn't condescended to. In sequences like the one in which Travolta reconstructs a film and sound record of the accident, we're challenged and stimulated: We share the excitement of figuring out how things develop and unfold, when so often the movies only need us as passive witnesses." Roger Ebert
