Rear Window
2010, 120 minutes
Laid up in his Greenwich Village apartment with a broken leg, globe-trotting photographer Jimmy Stewart is restless. With his girlfriend Grace Kelly wanting more commitment in their relationship, Stewart instead distracts himself with comings and goings of his neighbors. Watching through his telephoto lens, Stewart’s (and Hitchcock’s) voyeuristic instincts take over, ensnaring him when he starts suspecting his neighbor Raymond Burr of murderous intentions.
Shot in full-throttle Technicolor, Rear Window is Hitchcock at the peak of his career—deftly combining iconic performances with masterful camerawork and riveting pacing.
Please Note—This film is RATED PG-13, with smoking, drinking, violence (both subtle and blatant), and Jimmy Stewart getting a little creepy with all his ogling.
