Look is a 2007 film by Adam Rifkin. The film is composed entirely of material shot from the perspective of surveillance cameras[1]: though the makers used CineAlta movie cameras, all were placed in locations where actual surveillance cameras were mounted.[2]
Critical reception
As of December 14, 2007, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 67% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 15 reviews — a percentage considered "fresh" by the site.[3] On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 43 out of 100, based on 4 reviews — indicating mixed or average views.[4]
Postcard controversy
During the first week of April 2009, the United States Postal Service announced that they were unwilling to deliver promotional postcards made for Look. The postcard advertisements depict a man with his boxers around his ankles in the midst of sexual intercourse with a woman in a generic mail room setting, as captured on a hidden camera. The nudity in the image is not blatant but the postal service has characterized the content as obscene.[5] The postcard image is headlined by the caption: "It is LEGAL for your company to get permission to install HIDDEN CAMERAS IN THE WORKPLACE!"[6]
