Brian De Palma’s SCARFACE is a neon-soaked, operatic reimagining of Howard Hawks’ 1932 gangster classic. Starring Al Pacino in his iconic role as Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who builds a Miami drug empire, it’s both a brutal crime saga and a biting critique of the American Dream.
With Oliver Stone’s sharp script, Giorgio Moroder’s synth score (DAFT PUNK anyone?), and De Palma’s signature style, Scarface blends excess and tragedy into a modern myth.
Initially divisive for its violence and profanity, it has since become a cultural touchstone, inspiring countless films, music, and fashion with its unapologetic style and legendary quotability.
There'll be a ten-minute intermission around the halfway point.
