Review of Rope (1948) by Dominic S — 19 Sep 2013
A simple made film by Hitchcock, yet it is still filled with nail-biting suspense, great performances, and genius directing.
Even though the relationship between Phillip and Brandon is not clearly told, I like to think of them as boyfriends or partners. The two actors portray their chemistry perfectly.
These two young men pursue the perfect murder with no suspicion or questioning. That is until they begin hosting a small party of people in their apartment.
I love the small scene when the door to the kitchen is swinging and the audience is able to see Brandon dropping the rope into the kitchen drawer ever so sly like.
I love Hitchcock's clever cuts using the back of a coat for one second to make the audience believe that the story is still progressing even though cuts were made.
The directing is phenomenal and the acting is superb.
Rope, I give you a 100%.
