*This publication was also writen in* SPANISH *and* PORTUGUESE . IMDb Distorting the theory of the “superman” (developed by the philosopher Nietzsche ), two college students (Brandon and Phillip, respectively played by John Dall and Farley Granger ) strangle a former college classmate just to “self-proclaimed” themselves as superior human beings. In an attempt to commit the perfect crime, they have a morbid dinner (…More
*This publication was also writen in* SPANISH *and* PORTUGUESE . IMDb Released in theaters in 1948 and masterfully directed (in absolutely every way possible) by the unsurpassed master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock , I consider the incredible Rope to be one of the most intriguing and intelligent movies involving a murder (in fact, in this movie everything happens because of cause of this particular act) that has alre…More

In the long history of Hollywood, there were some rare instances when major studios indulged in producing films that could be described as experimental. The same can be said of the filmography of Alfred Hitchcock, whose 1948 psychological thriller *Rope* is considered the most experimental of all his films. The film is based on the eponymous 1929 stage play by British author Patrick Hamilton, which was inspired by t…More

Without realizing it, I have been consuming content lately t…More
In some ways "Rope" is a pivotal moment in Hitchcock movie career. It was the first colour movie, the first real-time format and it was the first movie for his own independent film-company Transatlantic Pictures. On paper non of those aspects should inevitably lead to any problems, but I dare say, that I believe Hitch worked best when he had some opposition in front of him, be that a film company he did not control…More
..or "Oner" if you prefer. Great film. Simple. Motivated. Tense. Hitchcock was of course the master of suspense, and he shows it here. For anyone who digs the long take, the non edit, the oner, whatever you call it, this is a must see. From what I understand, this is basically as "long take" as a film could get at the time due to the shooting limitations of film. Rope Trailer: Rope IMDb Page: Be well. LionSuit.com (…More
When they asked in an interview what triggered him to do the film Rope, Alfred Hitchcock's answer was brief and clear: The images of Rube Goldberg . Indeed, Goldberg and his inventions were the symbol of maximum effort to achieve a minimum effect. In all Goldberg's works, one thing is quite clear: "Why would it be easy, when it can be intricate?". We could easily apply the same theory to the Rope. How? Cutting the d…More
