BLOW OUT screens one night only at 9pm on September 11, Brian De Palma’s birthday. In BLOW OUT, John Travolta plays a Philadelphia sound-effects man who witnesses and records a car accident that turns out to be a politically motivated murder. Brian De Palma’s stylish and quite inspired mash-up of Coppola’s THE CONVERSATION and Antonioni’s BLOW-UP remains one of the key conspiracy thrillers of the 1980s and had a profound influence on directors as diverse as Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone. BLOW OUT is arguably De Palma’s masterpiece.
