Dressed to Kill

Brian De Palma’s “Dressed to Kill” is a psychosexual thriller that unfurls with Hitchcockian precision. After witnessing a brutal murder in a Manhattan hotel, prostitute Liz Blake becomes the target of both the police and a relentless killer. De Palma’s labyrinthine narrative, wrapped in lush visual style and razor-sharp dialogue, probes the dark underbelly of desire and obsession, where identity fractures and violence erupts with the precision of a well-choreographed dance.
