Surveillance Cinema • Criterion Channel Teaser

Описание: Now playing on the Criterion Channel: criterionchannel.com/surveillance-cinema

In a world where anyone might, at any moment, be spied on, who can you trust? It’s a fear that cinema, with its inherently voyeuristic nature, taps into with particular potency. Exploring concerns around the erosion of personal privacy, state surveillance, and corporate overreach, these films—which encompass everything from classic conspiracy thrillers (THE ANDERSON TAPES, THE CONVERSATION) to science-fiction mind-benders (GATTACA, MINORITY REPORT) to sly meta-commentaries on the media itself (BODY DOUBLE, THE TRUMAN SHOW)—play upon both our paranoia of being watched and the pleasures of watching.
