I enjoyed watching BODY DOUBLE again and it's always a delight to engage in a thought-provoking discussion on a film (especially one that sometimes get a bad rap).Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-42754021074083558642012-07-15T19:46:55.446-04:002012-07-15T19:46:55.446-04:00I couldn't agree more and have made that same ...I couldn't agree more and have made that same comment myself.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-63779951309097611132012-07-15T19:46:20.963-04:002012-07-15T19:46:20.963-04:00Thanks, Aurora.

It's actually a well-made, witty examination of perceived reality and--yes--the craft of acting.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-55379389766967749452012-07-15T19:43:29.733-04:002012-07-15T19:43:29.733-04:00I think Sark would do an excellent job with a film...I think Sark would do an excellent job with a film commentary on BODY DOUBLE.

If you were to extrapolate where Hitchcock was going with "Frenzy" I think you'd find that "Body Double" would have been the type of movies he'd made. I don't mean that he'd be doing homages to himself. But "Body Double" has a harder edge than "Psycho" or "The Birds" or Hitch's suspense films before those.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-69901981760076263222012-07-14T08:40:50.427-04:002012-07-14T08:40:50.427-04:00Both Hitchcock and De Palma are "stylists&quo...Both Hitchcock and De Palma are "stylists" as are you guys.
