As Chianese
•Swan, a music industry executive who made a pact with Satan, gets a young musician in trouble by stealing his latest composition and having him arrested for drugs. When the poor musician escapes, he will seek revenge, even though he is no longer the same: a record press has disfigured him and forces him to wear a mask. Original musical remake of the beautiful narrative framework of Gaston Leroux. De Palma signs his first major successful film with this delirious horror infused with rock and chills. Excellent the acting and the soundtrack by Paul Williams, the film also features Jessica Harper (the protagonist of "Suspiria"), also good is the relatively unknown William Finley. The film won at Avoriaz in 1975 and, after a slow start, became a cult for De Palma and horror fans.
