Rear Window (1954)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Quick Hit
Cinema itself peeks through the blinds and catches a body.
Full Take
Rear Window is Hitchcock's great statement on watching, wanting, and turning life into spectacle. It is playful enough to seduce you into looking and ruthless enough to make you feel complicit for enjoying it. A masterpiece that understands the audience too well.
