Rear Window (Hitchcock, 1954): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.45pm
This Alfred Hitchcock classic is part of the Big Screen Classics season at BFI Southbank and is alps being screened on September 4th, 7th and 16th. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
The
most densely allegorical of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpieces (1954),
moving from psychology to morality to formal concerns and finally to the
theological. It is also Hitchcock's most innovative film in terms of
narrative technique, discarding a linear story line in favor of
thematically related incidents, linked only by the powerful sense of
real time created by the lighting effects and the revolutionary ambient
sound track. James Stewart is the news photographer who, immobilized by a
broken leg, dreams stories about the neighbors in his courtyard and
demands that they come true. With Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma
Ritter, and Raymond Burr.
