Look (imdb | official site)
Any trailer that starts with a girl undressing has to be good, right? “Look” is an indie film written and directed by Adam Rifkin which took home the Grand Jury prize at Cinevegas earlier this year and has since been making its round through festivals around the nation. It’s shot completely with surveillance cameras so it might be a little bit awkward to watch. Unless, of course, you participate in voyeurism on a regular basis (not judging… just saying…). But, the description from the official site makes this movie sound really interesting:
Based on the premise that everyone has secrets, LOOK takes us on a voyeuristic journey into the most personal parts of ordinary people’s lives. Everyone is guilty of selective deception. We all hide aspects our lives from those around us. It might be as benign as picking your nose in an empty elevator or perhaps something much darker. LOOK poses the question: Are we always alone when we think we are?
A high school English teacher tries his best to be a decent husband, a department store floor manager uses the warehouse for more than just storage, a Mini-Mart clerk has big dreams, a lawyer struggles with a sexual dilemma and sociopathic brothers ruin the day of random strangers they come in contact with. LOOK tells five private stories which unfold before the prying eye of the covert camera to chilling effect.
LOOK around you and wonder…who is watching?
I’m excited! The movie is going to open in NYC at the Angelika Film Center on December 14th and, hopefully, nationwide not long after.

To those readers who don’t live in major cities and can’t see all these limited release, sorry about all the quirky, indie film posts lately. But, with movies like “Enchanted” and “Fred Claus” at the tops of the Box Office these last few weekends, can you blame me?
