REAR WINDOW (1954)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock / Starring Grace Kelly and James Stewart.
François Truffaut: I imagine the story appealed to you primarily because it represented a technical challenge: a whole film from the viewpoint of one man, and embodied in a single, large set.
Alfred Hitchcock: Absolutely. It was a possibility of doing a purely cinematic film. You have an immobilized man looking out. That's one part of the film. The second part shows what he sees and the third part how he reacts. The is actually the purest expression of a cinematic idea.

Hector (Richard Griffiths):
"The best moments in reading are when you come across something — a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things — that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours."
