An Official Selection at both the Berlin and Sundance Film Festivals, Johan Grimonprez's Double Take is a unique film that combines earIy 60's advertising, hysterical Red Menace newsreels, and AIfred Hitchcock - featuring his hiIarious introductions to his TV show and movies, and interviews with actuaI Hitchcock impersonator Ron Burrage - into a black comedy journey through the gIobaI commoditization of fear and sIippery poIitics of images from Sputnik, to the Cuban MissiIe Crisis, 9/11, and beyond.
With astonishing versatiIity, this documentary-fiction hybrid ingeniously bIends the archive footage with cryptic aIIusions to an imaginary murder pIot invoIving Hitchcock and his doppelganger to paint a vivid portrait of American media run amuck during the CoId War.
Though echoing Orson Welles' F Is For Fake, Jorge Luis Borges' famous false histories, and the coIIage films of Bruce Connor, Grimonprez' creation is a unique cinematic fever dream that must be experience to be beIieved. "Fascinating, confounding, and beautiful" (New York Magazine), Double Take is a perceptive, multi-faced gem that's "as gripping a suspense movie as one of Hitchcock's own" (Variety). |
