Release Date:

Should accessing a more confident version of ourself be conceived as a transformation? Is the identify and existence of our alter egos determined by our surroundings? Do we have access to a catalogue of distinct identities or a single self that evolves over time? With the release of Richard Linklater's new film 'Hit Man', this week's episode examines films in which a meek and mild protagonist undergoes some form of transition to embody a more cool and suave alter ego.
