The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ BODY DOUBLE

Many great artists steal from their inspirations to make something completely new, but no one has stolen quite like Brian De Palma in Body Double. Only De Palma is brave enough to ask, what if Hitchcock was more brazen with his pervy-ness and sleazier, too? He’s also the only filmmaker to ask that question and achieve the best-case scenario in Body Double. De Palma’s take on Rear Window takes us through twisty byways that titillate and exhilarate far beyond what Hitchcock could’ve imagined. Down-on-his-luck actor Jake Scully (Craig Wasson) witnesses a murder while housesitting one night and soon finds himself wrapped up in the world of porn as he tries to solve it. De Palma’s most deliciously voyeuristic entry takes pleasure in deconstructing the camera’s gaze, making for a stylish examination of artifice, filmmaking, and sex. Relax, and give in to one of De Palma’s best!
