One Of Hitchcock's Best - Great Examples Of Hitchcock's Genius With A Camera

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2019)

There are over 700 reviews posted on IMDB for this 65 year old film. Here is something none of the other reviews will tell you...
If you are a real film nerd, watch this one on mute with something else playing in the background. Throughout the film, you will see creatively framed and lit shots and scenes that are totally original. Hitchcock was in love with Grace Kelly, and when watching without sound, his obsession with her is more apparent. Not every film offers a worthy experience when muted, but 'Rear Window' (1954) is so well-shot that the story and dialogue can distract from Hitchcock's pure genius when holding a camera.
