Body Double (1984)

Jake is staying at his friend Sam's residence while Sam is away. Sam informs Jake about a woman who lives at a nearby building, and who can be seen through a telescope while performing a sensual act (which she does every day at the same hour).

Second viewing. A gratuitous but very well filmed and, to a certain extent, entertaining blend of Rear Window and Vertigo. The filmmaker puts no holds on vulgarity and the film is best enjoyed with an eye to self-parody.

Rating: 56 (down from 68)
