We return to the filmography of Brian DePalma this week with 1993′s Carlito’s Way. The film reunited DePalma with his Scarface star Al Pacino as Carlito Brigante, a former criminal struggling to go straight after his release from prison and his shady circle that keeps pulling him back in. Released the year after Pacino’s long-awaited Oscar win for Scent of a Woman, the film and Pacino received mixed reviews and was ultimately buried in Universal’s mighty awards slate that included Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, and In the Name of the Father. This week, we discuss Al Pacino’s Oscar draught between his win and The Irishman and some of the troublesome spots in DePalma’s filmography. We also look at John Leguizamo’s cinematic breakout in the early ‘90s, Penelope Ann Miller’s filmography of female roles in male-centered movies, and an “unrecognizable” Sean Penn returning from a three year movie break. Topics also include the Cahiers du Cinema, Carole Bayer Sager’s Oscar nominations in Original Song, and iconic ghost cinema Heart and Souls. And we also announce our upcoming May miniseries!
