movie-tip in July 2008

Question: Which movie has to be seen because of its great costumes!

“Regarding costumes, the film “Scarface” by Brian de Palma (1983) is my favourite. The couple Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer look amazing and the costumes match perfectly with the dramatical and thrilling story line.”
