DE PALMAGEDDON: Phantom of the Paradise

DE PALMAGEDDON
A Brian De Palma Festival
at Tower Cinemas, Newcastle
This October, Newcastle's home of revival cinema will screen a program of films by the influential Hollywood legend Brian De Palma.
PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is Brian De Palma's celebrated reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera.
The movie was a box-office failure when it first came out. Over time, audiences rediscovered it, and it turned into a beloved cult classic known for its wild energy, dark humour, and catchy 1970s rock music.
It's a joyous cinematic oddity that will appeal to fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The film's villain is played by cult composer Paul Williams, who wrote 'The Rainbow Connection' for Kermit the Frog and would go on to feature on Daft Punk's final studio album.
Phantom of the Paradise: Singer-songwriter Winslow Leach (played by De Palma regular William Finley) seeks revenge on the nefarious music producer Swan (Paul Williams), who steals both Winslow’s music and his favourite singer for the grand opening of Swan’s new rock palace, the Paradise.
