Abstract/Summary

This video essay / found footage film remixes elements of PUSHOVER (1954), REAR WINDOW (1954) and VERTIGO (1958) to examine surprising relationships between the films, and to wider social and filmmaking conventions, celebrating the intelligence of Kim Novak's performances and reclaiming her characters' agency in the face of a pervasive male gaze.
