Rear Window
1954 | Thriller | USA | Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Overview
A photographer with a broken leg, a wheelchair, a rear window, and maybe a murder across the courtyard. One apartment, one viewpoint, and the audience becomes the voyeur with him. Grace Kelly never better. Hitchcock builds suspense from attention itself: what we choose to watch, and what might watch back. Cinema as a single set experiment, flawless.
