When I've time off, I find myself able to catch up on my interest in classic film. I'm still in a bit of an Alfred Hitchcock phase.I watched, Rope and the DVD quality is great! The characters, now dead, seem so real that I am sure I'll be able to meet them at the mall later this week. Or perhaps they're in a highrise in Vancouver's West End?
This was Hitchcock's first colour film and I really don't know how I can describe its appearance. 'Delicious' - - - is the closest adjective I can think of. (This might come from my years teaching English as a foreign language.) Special care was taken to orchestrate the overall colour composition of each frame, unlike later films which seem to leave it to the fate of reality.
Actually, the most unusual thing about the film is the fact that such as a small number of shots were taken.
