"Looking for Alfred" documents Johan Grimonprez's prize-winning
film of the same name, an homage to Alfred Hitchcock in the form of
a search for the perfect Hitchcock doppelganger and vignettes
starring those multiple would-be Hitchcocks, reenacting his cameos.
Casting calls and screen tests in London, Rotterdam, Los Angeles
and New York are documented in film stills and photos.
(Professional Hitchcock impersonator Rob Burrage says, "I thought I
was safe until you guys came along, digging up all those other
Hitchcock look-alikes. Now we will have to find ways of disposing
of them.") Line-readings from Truffaut's famous 1960s interview
with the master and scenes in which Hitchcock acted as an extra are
further grist for the mill. Beyond the work's mockumentary
structure, Grimonprez evokes the Hitchcockian universe uncannily,
and connects back--through the recurring motif of a man in a suit
and a bowler hat--to another great modern auteur, Rene Magritte.
