Takaikkuna

Once upon a time there was a house and in it lived a curious invalid. And it is perfect. How I could not see it at first I do not understand and repent, greatly repent and thanks to this review not secretly. (02.01.2009)

Once upon a time, the first encounter with the master of suspense, the immortal Stewart masculinity, and the beauty of the gallant Grace. Although nervous moments escalate unexpectedly slowly and waiting for the next debunked evidence becomes a bit tiresome after a while, Hitch escalates such a drama in the final half-hour that I forget my complaints about the pace far behind. Thanks to the nerve-wracking finish, this view from the window has stayed with me permanently. (06.01.2006)

The creative start of Alfred Hitchcock was slow, and the famous director has a number of forgettable titles to his name. However, with Rear Window, a period of relatively rapid succession of his most significant films opens up, only to fall back into mediocrity in the following years. This crime thriller with comedic elements is about the fact that even a view from a single window can provide countless information about one's surroundings. It is also proof that you don't need to change locations and sets to make a film attractive to the audience. The entire film is limited to a single location, the camera simply captures the view from the window of the main character, ignoring what is above or below, everything is simply across. The director even chooses a format that creates the impression of a view from a window. The attentive eye of the bored protagonist sees the small dramas and gradually reveals what the relationships between the residents of the opposite factions look like. From the fragments of collected information, he eventually uncovers the real crime. The director's excellent craftsmanship cannot be denied, and as a special bonus, we can admire the charm of the legendary Grace Kelly. Overall impression: 90%. (19.03.2015)

I would also like a Lisa like this one. Grace Kelly is absolutely charming and I honestly didn't understand why Jimmy Steward wanted to wade through mud rather than... but whatever. Hitch is great. (17.01.2011)

The Hitchcock of the 1950s mostly includes all those famous films with Stewart and Kelly, and we see both of them in Rear Window right from the get-go. It's not bad. Watching the relationship of a chair-bound spoilsport with his leg in a cast and his efforts to break up with a frilly blonde whose only concern is her starched skirt. Thanks to the microcosm of the pavilion courtyard, this relationship nothing turns into an attractive detective story, and eventually, the relationship of the main characters turns into something worth paying attention to. Quite a pleasant experience, suitable for occasional repeated viewings. (05.06.2017)

One of Hitchcock's finest and most imaginative works. You take a breath at the beginning of the film and hold the air in until the end, before the nervousness is over. (07.10.2009)
