Rear Window 4K 1954

Imagine that you have to spend several weeks at home without the opportunity to go out. It's the 50s, so the only entertainment is your friend and nurse who come to visit you. By the way, because of the heat, the windows opposite are open and the life of their inhabitants is in full view. Shall we observe? Moreover, something strange is clearly happening in one of the apartments.

"Window to the Courtyard" is one of the most famous films of Alfred Hitchcock, the master detective. More precisely, a master of suspense, a state of anxious expectation and anxiety. Like a spring, the plot spins more and more as the film progresses to reach its climax towards the end.

Geographically, the entire action of the film is the hero's apartment or a view from the window. All the more responsibility falls on the script, staging and acting. And I must say, everyone did just fine.

Hitchcock's talent as a director has been written in hundreds of articles. Using simple cinematic techniques, like a puppeteer, he masterfully dominates the audience. Separately, I would like to note the wonderful dialogues, this is what modern cinema is so lacking.

The manner in which the actors play is somewhat theatrical, which is typical for the cinema of those years. You just have to get used to it. The main character, a photographer, played with some irony by James Stewart, looks great. With the brilliant Grace Kelly, the brightest and most sensual character, they have a great duet.

The film really keeps you on your toes. In addition, despite the simple plot, it is deep enough and raises some moral and ethical questions.
