Reader Recommendation: Phantom Of The Paradise

/Film reader Phil C sent in this recommendation for Brian De Palma's 1974 cult film Phantom of the Paradise. The film was nominated for both an Academy Award  and Golden Globe for Best Music. Apparently a 2010 remake of the film is in development (or was in development?). I personally haven't seen it, but It sounds interesting.

Have any of you guys seen it? And if so – What did you think?
