About
Body Double

Like Blow out, shot three years before, Body Double is a film about cinema. About the shams and the manipulation of images a director is entitled to invent in order to deceive the viewer or, if you prefer, to present his reality. The intent is great, too bad that, for once, Brian De Palma didn't look after the screenplay as carefully as usual because a few scenes, like the encounter between Jake Scully and Gloria Revelle, are bordering on ridiculous. Nonetheless, a must for movie lovers.
