A good movie

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. Still, I remember very well when I saw the damned thing. Indeed, I had invited a friend of mine who was also a major movie buff and we ended watching up some movies literally through the whole night. We started at 21:00 in the evening and ended on 06:00 the next day so it was definitely my biggest binge-watching night ever. Anyway, at the time, he suggested we should check this movie and I’m glad he did. Basically, even though Brian De Palma might have become famous with ‘Scarface’, it is actually with this kind of steamy thrillers that the guy basically built up his career. Apparently, the whole thing was apparently dismissed by the critics when it was released but I thought it was actually really entertaining. I mean, sure, the story was rather preposterous but I just loved the mood and I think that there was something quite spellbinding about this average guy turning into some kind of Peeping Tom. Obviously, the whole thing was remisnicent of ‘Rear Window’ and some other movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock but it didn’t bother me whatsoever, in the contrary. To conclude, even though it wasn’t really flawless, I really have a weak spot for the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Brian De Palma’s work.
