Double Take (2009)

Poster do Filme

Sobre o filme

Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV. As television hijacks cinema, and the Krushchev and Nixon debate rattles on, Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can`t refuse. It is a plot of personal paranoia to mirror the political intrigue, in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder. Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage and using The Birds as a metaphor, the film traces catastrophe culture`s relentless assault on the home, from moving images` inception to the present day.
