You know you're being toyed with. The apprehensive moods are stretched out voluptuously, satirically—De Palma primes you for what's going to happen and for a lot that doesn't happen. He sustains moods for so long that you feel emotionally encircled. He pulls you in and draws the wires taut or relaxes them; he practically controls your breathing.nnPauline Kael on Blow Out:nnIt's hallucinatory, and it has a dreamlike clarity and inevitability, but you'll never makenthe mistake of thinking that it's only a dream.nnFurther Reading:nnMatt Zoller Seitz - http://reverseshot.org/symposiums/entry/1148/carlitos_waynnAdrian Martin - http://www.lolajournal.com/4/carlito.htmlnnFilm/TV:nnThe Searchers (Ford, 1956)nL'Eclisse (Antonioni, 1962)nLe Mépris (Godard, 1963)nThe Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Leone, 1966)nBelle de Jour (Buñuel, 1967)nHi Mom!
