Review of Body Double

Body Double (1984)
7/10
DePalma Drama
2 June 2019
With a soundtrack that will stick around for days, and that's before you include Frankie goes to Hollywood, Griffith looks great as Holly in this almost comedic take on a familiar 'witness' setup.

Without spoiling the details, there is enough to enjoy here as either a Depalma study or some easy evening viewing. A little disjointed and a few odd filmic choices throw you out of the action here and there, this is why I would use the term 'comedic'... I can't be certain but some of the decisions seem to have either been intentionally tongue in cheek, or at least they were overtly dismissed as such. The movie would definitely have scored less had it not acknowledged these traits.
