The best film ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2002)

A wonderful film. The minute I first saw this film, I wanted to live in 50s New York. And Grace Kelly, well you can't find women like that nowadays. As for the rest of it, well its pure genius and remarkable use of such restricted mise-en-scene. What's really wonderful is the genuine suspense that is created and no matter how many times you watch it you're always going to feel the suspense building. This is without a doubt Hitch's best and also one of Jimmy Stewart's best. Another example of that collaboration that comes close to this genius is "Vertigo", but I prefer the one-view perspective of "Rear Window". If you call yourself a Hitchcock fan and haven't seen this then you should put yourself to shame as this is the ultimate thriller. The master of suspense really goes in for the thrill, setting camera lenses twitching with REAR WINDOW! 10 out of 10!
