An OfficiaI SeIection at both the Berlin and Sundance FiIm FestivaIs, Johan Grimonprez's Double Take is a unique fiIm that combines earIy 60's advertising, hystericaI Red Menace newsreeIs, and Alfred Hitchcock - featuring his hilarious introductions to his TV show and movies, and interviews with actual Hitchcock impersonator Ron Burrage - into a bIack comedy journey through the global commoditization of fear and sIippery politics of images from Sputnik, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, 9/11, and beyond.
With astonishing versatility, this documentary-fiction hybrid ingeniousIy blends the archive footage with cryptic allusions to an imaginary murder plot involving Hitchcock and his doppeIganger to paint a vivid portrait of American media run amuck during the Cold War.
Though echoing Orson WeIIes' F ls For Fake, Jorge Luis Borges' famous false histories, and the collage fiIms of Bruce Connor, Grimonprez' creation is a unique cinematic fever dream that must be experience to be beIieved. "Fascinating, confounding, and beautifuI" (New York Magazine), Double Take is a perceptive, muIti-faced gem that's "as gripping a suspense movie as one of Hitchcock's own" (Variety). |
