30 | ‘REAR WINDOW’, PARANOIA, a QUARANTINE JITTERS
Stuck inside. Unable to leave. ‘Rear Window’ (1954) is the movie for our times. Jimmy Stewart plays Jeff, an adventure photographer confined to his apartment by a leg injury. He turns to the ongoing saga that is the inner courtyard and the lives of his neighbors for entertainment during a New York City heat wave, when a disturbing series of events catch his eye. This riveting movie taps into the voyeuristic side of human nature and the question begged by the dark side of paranoia: what if you’re right? We take a trip to Hitchcock’s America in Episode 30. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/framesandfools/message
