The Phantom Of The Paradise will always be the kind of film which says more about rock than Let’s Spend The Night Together because, as director Brian DePalma sussed, rock’s peripheral personalities (model girlfriends, vampiric execs, ligging TV presenters) wield a mighty slice of the music’s frisson. They reflect its impact on the average fan, only they do so in a heightened, highly publicized way.
