'BODY DOUBLE' IN LONDON TUESDAY NIGHT
CONCLUDES SERIES "AROUND THE WORLD IN 8 FILMS" FROM LITTLE WHITE LIES
Brian De Palma's
Body Double, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, will screen Tuesday, September 16th, at the W Hotel London in Leicester Square, as the final film of
Little White Lies' "Around The World In Eight Films" series. According to the web site,
Body Double was chosen to represent the USA because: "
Melanie Griffiths' porn star character is called Holly Body," and "the molten sexual charge and vicarious bodily pleasures are but window dressing for a film that's Hitchcockian thriller on one level and — on a more elevated one — a playful metatextual exploration on the seedy side of cinema." Guests arriving at 6:30 pm will receive a complimentary themed cocktail and a box of popcorn. The film will begin at 7pm.
Other films in the series included
John Mackenzie's
The Long Good Friday (England),
Jean-Luc Godard's
Breathless (France),
Michelangelo Antonioni's
L'Eclisse (Italy),
Jan Švankmajer's
Alice (Czech Republic),
Michael Powell and
Emeric Pressburger's
Black Narcissus (representing India),
Akira Kurosawa's
Ran (Japan), and
David Michôd's
Animal Kingdom (Australia).
