Sisters

Voyeurism has always been a major curiosity in the cinema of Brian De Palma, and his 1973 film "Sisters" is no exception. It begins with a man (Lisle Wilson) who finds himself the target of a caught-on-camera television show that tests his temptations. Its mid-section consists of a women (Jennifer Salt) convinced that she witnessed the murder of this same individual. At the center of it all are separated Siamese twins, Danielle Breton and Dominique Blanchion (the always-fantastic Margot Kidder), with the on-screen presence of the latter sibling hugely absent from the film.

Wrapped in mystery, sex and cinematic techniques that mirror De Palma's affinity for the peeping tom-ism of the artform, "Sisters" is a captivating affair that has now been added to the Criterion Collection. Rightfully recognized for its macabre plot developments, innovative split-screen storytelling, chilling Bernard Hermann score and fascinating insights into the female condition, Criterion paired with De Palma for a director-approved special edition that is a worthy addition to any true cinephile's collection.

This new 4K restoration is stunning to say the least, with images that permeate the mind and sound that assaults from every angle. A wide range of bonus features are featured in this released, including:
