Slashing 'Dressed to Kill' is a fascinating dive into the behind-the-scenes process of how the MPAA influences film content. Laurent Bouzereau captures the meticulous editing that Brian De Palma had to undertake to tame the film's more graphic moments for an R rating. The documentary strikes a curious balance between academic analysis and a fan's enthusiasm, making it engaging for those who appreciate the craft of filmmaking. The pacing feels almost like a suspenseful thriller in itself, weaving through the layers of censorship, audience perception, and artistic intent. It's not just a look at cuts, but a commentary on how those choices shape the film experience, uncovering the tension between vision and restriction.
