Please, stop describing it as "hitchcockian" at all!
De Palma is a genius by his own merits. This movie proves again his authorial identity, as well as his prominent attitude to analyze psycho- social issues.
Here Hollywood, "The Industry", is totally depicted during the hedonistic-Reagan's era. It was 1984.
De Palma's camera takes are undoubtedly referred to the Hitchcock's school but there is MORE, I would personally assert.
The criticism De Palma always displayed in every work he made is pretty faraway from the sugarcoated studios' standards agreements.
Last BUT VERY NOT LEAST: this flick endures being a total landscape's eye about L.A. Visually from Lautner's Chemosphere House atop Mulholland Dr. to few Westwood and Beverly Hills spots, up till the S.ta Monica surroundings.
This is a historical film in my opinion. This Los Angeles too.
Ciao belli!
