Hi, Mom!
Dir: Brian De Palma
1970
****
A great document of its time, Hi, Mom! is a welcome follow up to Greetings. Greetings was experimental and touched on radical new ways of thinking but it wasn't perfect. Brian DePalma decided to extend and polish the experiment somewhat with Hi, Mom! and I for one am glad he did. Going with voyeurism and self-realisation as themes, DePalma and co produce some classic American cinema as well as interesting historical document. The 'Do you know what it is like to be Black' scenes are amazing. Radical but also funny as intended. A must for fellow Cinephiles!
