Absolute genius!

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2016)

This movie will probably be with us forever! It's a fantastic movie to say the least. And Hitchcook got once again a chance at displaying his genius. The movie is beautifully composed, you would fell that following a character that sits in his wheelchair and glances out his rear window all day would get quite boring after some time, but it's absolutely fantastic! I think that has to do with how Hitchcook composes the shots, we are always looking at what the character is looking at, it's from is point of view. Occasionally the perspective will switch and we are now interrogating the characters expression toward what just happened. He connects the emotions with the visuals perfectly. Every time, it feels like we are looking at another world, it's all the windows that are the portals which will let us see in to other peoples life. Understand them and poke our curiosity towards their movements, and actions. Which is the whole structure for the plot, curiosity. But i wouldn't be a Hitchcook movie without some love with friction. Jeff, who is the main character is a magazine photographer with a packed suit case and too many stamps on his passport, during the movie he is in a wheelchair with a cast on his right leg. Whilst his wife, Grace Kelly is a Park Avenue socialite who seems ill-adapted for his life style. She wants to marry him whilst he sees marriage as an extension of his cast on his leg. The romance is complicated to say the least, but interesting and dramatizing. In the end it's a fantastic movie which is worth watching every day as long as you are breathing.
