Rear Window, by Alfred Hitchcock


A photojournalist, called Jefferies (Jeff) is confined to his small appartment because he has a broken leg. To pass the time, he spies his neighbours through the rear window. Among his neighbours, there are a salesman whose name is Thorwald, and his invalid wife.

One day, the wife inexplicably disappears and Jeff suspects the salesman of having murdered her...

So, with the help of his beautiful girlfriend Lisa ans his nurse Stella, he investigates to prove that Thorwald has killed her...


I can't really tell if I liked or not the film beacause I didn't see the end ! But globally I didn't liked it very much because I think it's a little bit "too quiet" even if the plot is interesting. Furthermore, I think it makes people think about philosophy: where is the limit between curiosity and voyeurism ?


Have you ever seen this film ?

I can't really tell if I liked the film or not because I didn't see the end ! But overall I didn't like it very much because I think it's "too quiet" even if the plot is interesting. Furthermore, I think it makes people think about philosophy: is the difference between curiosity and voyeurism ?
