REAR WINDOW (1954) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
August 3, 2023 : 7:00 pm
This screening is presented by Dark Dream Cinema, a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene hosted by Michael Morlaine
“It is an enduring classic that has been imitated and alluded to numerous times [since] its debut, but nothing has equaled or surpassed it.” -James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Combining all of Hitchcock’s favorite motifs—voyeurism, obsession, forced perspective, and bombshell blondes—into a single film, Rear Window serves as both a wry commentary on the art of direction and a searing exercise in suspense. Confining the action to a single apartment block, Hitch’s DIY detective tale lays out all of its pieces with the utmost precision, merging the POV of the viewer with that of audience surrogate L.B. Jeffries (Jimmy Stewart), a wheelchair-bound photographer whose casual snooping on his neighbors uncovers a secret he wasn’t meant to see. With classic noir proceedings set against the workaday backdrop of mid-‘50s America, Rear Window is a snapshot of its time, enshrining its era even as it transcends it.
