Marc Eliot’s Art of Film

Body Double is an exhilarating exercise in pure filmmaking, a thriller in the Hitchcock tradition in which there's no particular point except that the hero is flawed, weak, and in terrible danger -- and we identify with him completely.”
-Chicago Sun-Times

Part of a new cycle of Marc Eliot’s Art of Film, based on the American New Wave, Body Double is a neo-erotic thriller appropriate only for mature audiences. Guest curator of film Marc Eliot has recorded pre- and post- talks for a deeper dive into the film.
