Buried for decades. Now, Brian De Palma's wildest vision comes to life.Written in the 1990s between Carlito's Way and Mission: Impossible, visionary filmmaker Brian De Palma's Ambrose Chapel is his most overtly comic thriller-a wild, unproduced "screwball noir" that spins through kidnapping, virtual reality, mind control, murder, terrorists, romance, dream sequences and dueling memories. Set in a vividly imagined Mexico City, the story centers on Christe Rivera, a woman entangled in a shadowy conspiracy and haunted by a memory-or is it a dream? a lie?-that may be the key to everything. Along the way, Christe is drawn into the orbit of a billionaire with presidential ambitions and a plan to wall off Mexico from the U.S., while a half-forgotten Hitchcock film may hold the answer-if she can survive long enough to remember what's real and who she is.A kinetic blend of playful intrigue, romantic chaos and signature De Palma paranoia, Ambrose Chapel is a revelatory window into one of cinema's most iconoclastic auteurs, offering a vision both prescient and laced with volatile invention, and a thrilling glimpse of the film De Palma never got to make.
