Brian De Palma is perhaps best known as the director behind the gangster classic Scarface. Yet as ingrained as Scarface is in American popular culture, it is but one of a sizeable number of controversial films-many of which are consistently misread or ignored-directed by De Palma over his more than four-decade career.
