Lifeboat (1944)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Quick Hit
A whole war compressed into one boat and zero comfort.
Full Take
Lifeboat is a brutal experiment in confinement, stripping spectacle away until ideology and hunger are all that remain. Hitchcock keeps the visual interest alive inside a tiny space and lets the moral panic do the heavy lifting. Mean, tight, impressive.
