Cinéma du réel

Double Take (rerun of the film of the Award evening)

Cinéma du réel — 2009-03-14T22:11:15Z

Johan Grimonprez
Belgium, Germany, Nederland
80', 2009

Director Johan Grimonprez casts 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 clamber to say the right things, live on TV.
Double Take targets the global political rise of "fear as a commodity", in a tale of odd couples and double deals. As television hijacks cinema, and the Krushchev and Nixon debate rattles on, sexual politics quietly take off and Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can't refuse.
