Hitchcock's "Rope"

from Film Optimists · host Film Optimists

With a career spanning six decades and over fifty feature length films, where does one start the discussion of Alfred Hitchcock and his amazing contributions to cinema? For us the answer was simple: the gay one. Released in 1948, Rope was groundbreaking not just for its depiction of homosexual characters but for it’s technical achivements. The entire movie takes place in real time and is composed of only ten, very long, shots. Click here for the video discussing Hitchcock's bomb theory.
