One of the best thrillers I ever saw

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2005)

Rear Window is a typical Hitchcock movie. The story, which looks like a simple story, results in one of the most tense thrillers ever made. The film is of 110 minutes' duration. The camera never leaves the photographer's room. It sounds quite impossible to make such a film interesting, but Hitchcock does it perfectly. The artless spectator will not even notice it! The film is mainly a story about curiosity. To kill time, Stewart is observing his neighbors all day long. He knows about their hobbies, their peculiarities, their lives... When he sees things he is not supposed to see, the real trouble begins. Rear Window is a must see. You do not have to like thrillers to appreciate it.
