Rear Window (1954)
We continue our journey through IMDb’s Top 250 Movies, and this week we talk about Rear Window! In this episode, we dive into a masterclass in tension, voyeurism, and moral ambiguity. We also discuss how Hitchcock turns a single setting into a labyrinth of mystery, the dynamic between James Stewart and Grace Kelly, and how the meticulously constructed courtyard set remains one of the most impressive achievements in cinema history. All this and so much more!
