Voyerism 1on1

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2020)

No pun intended of course. The movie itself sets up the stage (again with a likely pun) and where we're going to spend most of our time. We are as confined as the main character here. We see what he sees and we may react similar as he is. Adding visitors and strange neighbors, who all have something going on ... it makes you wonder what is going on next door? And that is one of the things Hitchcock displays here.
There are many stabs (at marriage, human nature, sanity etc) and it is even more relevant to some I reckon during a lockdown/pandemic. Not entirely claustrophobic, but also quite contained in the world it is showing us. Men can be mad and certain circumstances will bring the worst out in them. The movie depicts so many ticks and character traits you could easily write novels about it. As it is, you can also just enjoy it as the thriller that it is
