Hitchcock Does it Again - Great!
Another great film classic by Hitchcock!
Rope (1948), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is a psychological thriller set almost entirely in one upscale Manhattan apartment. The story unfolds in real time and revolves around two intelligent but arrogant young men who host a dinner party for a group of guests—including their former schoolhouse mentor—all while hiding a dark secret.
What makes the film especially fascinating is the way Hitchcock builds tension: through clever dialogue, subtle performances, and continuous shots that make the entire movie feel like one long, unbroken scene. The audience is let in on something the guests don’t know, and that suspense grows steadily with every clink of a glass and every suspicious glance.
It’s a tightly wound tale about ego, morality, and the limits of intellectual superiority—elegant and unnerving, like a cat with its eyes fixed on a mouse under the floorboards.
9/10
