Synopsis

Professional photographer, J.B.Jeffries, is confined to his Greenwich Village apartment after breaking his leg. He looks in on the intimate dramas at play in his neighbours’ apartments. Eventually, he becomes convinced that a salesman murdered his nagging wife.

Our take

Perversely playing with our imaginations, Hitch orchestrates this exhilarating triumph of suspense around an immobilised Jimmy Stewart—using a camera as an extension of his own body. One of the most influential films of all time, and a sublime celebration of cinema as the ultimate act of voyeurism.
