Film Discussion: Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954), Seventy Years Later
Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly, Hitchcock’s film is a romantic drama, a thriller, and a comedy. It is one of his most intimately engaging movies, exploring the voyeuristic tendencies of a photographer recovering from an injury who becomes an obsessive peeping Tom gazing from his living room into other people’s apartments. Learn about the new film techniques Hitchcock developed in this movie and join a lively discussion about the relevance of Rear Window today. KATE HEARST is a cultural and film historian.
