Sisters

Freelance reporter Grace (Jennifer Salt) watches her novice private eye Larkin (Charles Durning) searching the apartment where she thinks neighbor Danielle (Margot Kidder) killed her lover, when she turns up, but he escapes and shares his (correct!) new theory, in Brian De Palma’s Sisters, 1973.

Ever outrageous and toying with his audience, director and co-writer Brian De Palma’s opening from his early independent feature, Sisters, 1973, with then-provocative fetus images, then Margot Kidder and Lisle Wilson in a scene that is not what it first appears to be.

Philip and Danielle (Lisle Wilson, Margot Kidder), who met that night on a game show, have adjourned to her Staten Island apartment, where he notices her ex-husband, who intruded earlier, is standing watch outside, before the real weirdness, in Brian De Palma’s Sisters, 1973.

Director Brian De Palma switches on the crazy, as we’ve seen Margot Kidder, whom we thought was unconscious but who maybe has a twin sister, stab lover Philip (Lisle Wilson), and he’s seen groping to the window by neighbor Grace (Jennifer Salt), prompting the split screen and the return of the spooky ex-husband, in Sisters, 1973.
