Raising Cain (1992) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - August 7, 1992

As much as I would have liked to have been able to see Raising Cain on the big screen, it was not to be. It was a home video viewing for me. 

When I did catch up with it, I found it a delirious and chaotic mess of an entertaining movie. One that, just like Body Double, walked the line separating self-awareness and self-parody. All of De Palma's movies have elements of black comedy and camp to them. Some are more restrained than others.

I remember Raising Cain as being utterly unrestrained. De Palma just wanting to have fun with his tropes and obsessions. I had fun watching him do so.
