Today's generation marvel at mysteries be it from M.Night.Shyamlan supernatural repertoire to Christopher Nolan's mysterious non-linear films.but Sir Alfred Joesph Hitchcock .. is where it all started , Father of murder/suspense.
Rear Window is one such flick from his portfolio, which in a subtle way , creates a milieu of suspense with a tinge of humour splattered too.
It is a story of a wheelchair bound photographer , who is recuperating from a fractured leg , passing time looking into the neighbourhood from his apartment window.
The director has created a setup where the audience sees the lives of people in the adjacent building through the protagonists' eyes.
One fine day , the photographer with all his gadgets , catches a glimpse of mysterious circumstances at the rear window, convincing him of a crime!!
With support from his girlfriend , nurse and his cop friend , he embarks on the path of finding the truth!!!
Notable Sequences
- The Glowing Cigarette light in the opposite dark window.
- The Flash bulb scene.
- The Gory Anecdotes of the Nurse.
... but for me it is a Classic!!!
Rating : 4.5/5.0
