Sundance 2010: Alfred Hitchcock, Cold War Criminal?

What's that?  You didn't realize that Alfred Hitchcock was up to no good during the Cold War?  Well, that's because you have not yet witnessed Johan Grimonprez's Double Take.  Reality gets cut up into a whole new form and fused with outright fiction as Grimonprez creates a whole new history for the famous director we thought we knew ...

Alfred Hitchcock is portrayed as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the Cold War period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times, and politicians on both sides desperately stammer to say the right things, live on TV.
We've got the first trailer for this embedded below but be sure to check out the other trailers and clips on the official site.  Brilliant is what this is.

Hitch...

This looks intriguing, to say the least.

Genius. Freak. Producer. Criminal.

I believe they did get the right man.

Thanks for the post.
