Hitchcock's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2005)

This is perhaps the best example of Hitchcock's genius shining through on screen, simply one of the best movies I've ever seen. The vast set provides an epic canvas to what boils down to tense and exhilarating thriller, carried by two superb performances from our lead characters. The concept of seeing a murder in the apartment opposite opens up a wealth of suspense for the plot to wrap around, drawing the audience into a wealth of speculation and intrigue. All of which is complimented by the portraits of everyday life and simple characterisations of those that exist within this community. Gripping and unforgettable, a must see movie for all lovers of film.
