Run time:
93 min.
There are approximately 30 million surveillance cameras in the United States capturing covert images of average Americans as much as 200 times a day. They’re watching in department stores, gas stations, changing rooms, public bathrooms—seemingly no one and nowhere is free from the dispassionate eye of the hidden camera. LOOK lets you do just that: several interweaving storylines are expanded over the course of a random week in a random city…with all action experienced from the point of view of the security cameras.
Many films have tried to reproduce the freaky, claustrophobic vibe (a la 1984) of multiple “eyes” constantly watching. LOOK gets it right. Writer/director Adam Rifkin shows major skill at creating a new world inside our dirty little real world. Secret liaisons, scary killers, seductive teens, slacker workers—the root of all conspiracy isn’t who or what lies unseen behind the lens, it’s what is seen through it. Rifkin balances the intertwined plots with humor and horror, skillfully reigning it in when it threatens to go too far. He is also benefits from a superb emsemble cast that keeps it “real.” The voyeuerism is so overpowering that you may forget there are others in the theater, so watch what you do with your hands.

Breaking Media News , Adam Rifkin
Of course we're being watched: at work, at stop lights, in the convenience store and elevator and gas station. In addition to the Google-peeping reported in Epicenter, 30 million surveillance cameras in the U.S. capture the average American 170 times a day according to filmmaker Adam Rifkin, who's made a movie to hammer home the point. Look, which debuts Saturday at the CineVegas Film Festival, is a "Crash"-like ensemble piece shot entirely from the point of view of security cameras.
Rifkin (he penned the animated comedy Mousehunt a few years back) exploits our voyeur impulses as he tracks the interweaving behavior of seemingly unwitting subjects as they navigate their daily routines in a cam-infested urban environment.
