One of Hitchcock's best!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2013)

Rear Window is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most highly regarded films and it is deserving of that distinction. Rear Window is a tout thriller that uses the minimalistic setting to the fullest as a invalid man becomes a voyeur of his neighbours and their activities and soon suspects one of his neighbours murdered their wife. Hitchcock expertly brings up into this world as we see the events and lives of other people from a distance and see the world through L.B. Jefferies' (James Stewart), making the world of the apartment courtyard with his camera pans and movements. As well as the entertaining murder mystery Rear Window was a film with snappy dialogue and character relationships whilst looking at different types of households and people in the different apartments, and how the idea of tight neat community was even dying back in the 50s.
The Simpsons also made a very funny parody with the episode "Bart of Darkness"
