It's about imagination, memory, fiction, voyeurism and filmmaking itself. It echoes a lot of Hitchcock's expressions about these same things, but it's more surreal and, yes, arty. I'd even go so far as to say it's more dated in its way. You see the same connection the filmmaker makes between voyeurism and his own craft as you do with Hitchcock, but this film doesn't really expand on that. The update consists more in the style of the settings and the graphic and direct way sensationalistic aspects are depicted. They're imposed upon you here rather than being presented as a welcome break from an all-too-perfect environment.
