"We've become a race of Peeping Toms. What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. Yes sir. How's that for a bit of homespun philosophy?"

Rear Window is an undemanding lesson in accomplishing perfection from simplicity. This classic film was the creation of Alfred Hitchcock during one of his last grand creative spells. In the years to follow, the ... read more

It is rather surprising that, even though I am a massive movie buff and even though I have seen nearly 40 movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock (more than any other director), somehow, I still hadn’t watch this one which obviously belongs to his numerous classics.

"12.4. 2025 The basic idea of ​​Hitchcock's classic film is prophetic: a photographer in a wheelchair believes he has witnessed a murder, but the main character's own actions are also ethically questionable. "Rear Window" tells the story of how dramatic and decisive even small, spur-of-the-moment decisions can be: it's fascinating to think that the main character would live a completely different life if he had just turned his gaze away at a certain moment. It's interestingly contradictory t"
