A visually breathtaking film, with sound design to match. One that gently slips you into a trance from near start to finish. I will say, as the climax unfolded, I found myself grasping for more to pull together the themes of the film. Felt as though I was lost a bit in the ambiguity. Overall, an absolute triumph.
Hitchcock is a master of character reveal through images and dialogue. The writing is arguably his best here. The Trio of James Stewart, Grace Kelly & Thelma Ritter is a force and masterclass for the tone of this film. Rear Window is to be studied for generations on how to tell a story through moving images. A master.
