Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1473 movies items)" In Body Double, director Brian DePalma pays homage to the Alfred Hitchcock movies Vertigo and Rear Window, adding a few grotesque touches all his own. Craig Wasson plays Jake, a struggling actor who keeps losing jobs because of his claustrophobia. To make matters worse, he discovers his girlfriend cheating on him, so he has no place to sleep. His pal offers him the use of his apartment for the evening. The apartment happens to be equipped with a huge picture window and telescope, enablin"
Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)"Pros: It’s one of Brian DePalma’s best films. Nancy Allen The cinematography and editing. The soundtrack Frankie Goes to Hollywood Con: It is exploitive for some, maybe even too much."
Watched films in 2023 (158 movies items)"14.5. Blu-ray Brian De Palman sleazy, hävytön Hitchcock-mukaelma on hyvinkin odotusten mukaisen viihdyttävää ja visuaalisesti miellyttävää hassuttelua. Vakavasti ei voi juuri ottaa, kuin teknisen taituruuden, mutta Body Double olikin De Palmalle pitkälti MPAA:lle kohdistettu keskisormi."

Watched in 2021 (219 movies items)" 6.3. THE BODY - HÄNEN VALINTANSA Brian De Palman eroottinen mysteeri sopii teemaan nimensä vuoksi ja sattuu alkamaan kuvalla ilmeilevästä vampyyristä. Olen huomannut ettei De Palma ole yhtään minun juttuni, mutta Body Doublen vahvuus tuli hyvinkin pian esille. Siinä ollaan jo niin tyhmän äärellä, että juonenkuljetuksen kökköys ja epäloogisuus toi mieleen Paul Verhoevenin elokuvat. Hitchcockilainen tematiikka osoittaa, että De Palma on kyllä tapittanut Takaikkunat sun muut"

“Voyeurism, fetishism and pornography collide in a frenzied, unabashedly psychosexual pastiche of "Vertigo" and "Rear Window". Whilst De Palma foregrounding of 1980s culture adds a new dimension of outre trashiness to the proceedings, the film exists on its own plane as an artefact of its time, albeit by translating images and styles as a register on what separates the contemporary from the past in terms of sex and murder. Although commenting on Hitchcock's erotic themes and De Palma's clear evocation of them is a thorny subject considering the latter's high art valuation by critics, "Body Double" is nevertheless a stylish, unsettling remnant of Hitchcockian imagery and psychological bent as viewed through the fervid sheen and perversions of Hollywood.” read more
