He sold his soul for rock ‘n’ roll.
From critically acclaimed filmmaker Brian De Palma (Carrie, Scarface) comes the Academy Award nominated musical-horror PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, a stylized rock opera filled with an exceptional rock score by Paul Williams.
After record producer Swan steals the music of songwriter Winslow Leach and gives it to one of his bands, Leach sneaks into Swan's offices. Catching Leach, Swan frames him for dealing drugs, which lands him in prison. After Leach breaks out and again attempts to sabotage Swan's empire, an accident crushes his face. Leach then dons a costume and becomes the Phantom, intent on ruining Swan while saving singer Phoenix from a terrible fate.
Featuring a standout cast, including Academy Award and Grammy winner Paul Williams, William Finley (Sisters), Gerrit Graham (Used Cars) and Jessica Harper (Love and Death), PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is a near-psychedelic experience built on pure passion and unadulterated artistry.
