One of Hitchcock's best films

It's amazing watching the movies that inspired all the ones that came after it. The continuous shot illusion here is flawed yes, but obviously genius for the time. The performances and the tension keep your eyes glued to the screen. It's also interesting to see how so many of the villains in Hitchcock's movies are queer coded - at the time that came from his fascination with the twisted, but he couldn't have predicted that these villains would make the heroes of his stories incredibly dull in comparison - that is especially obvious in this film. Now, funnily enough, Hollywood is obsessed with making stories about villains, we've become the celebrated protagonists.

What a great movie, this one proves why Hitchcock is called as the master of suspense. Also it's great to know how this movie is well directed, everything has a meaning: the voices, the way of some character is looking, the way that they move...

Nearly perfect. Nothing wasted. It's in color BTW.
