Rear Window Timelapse

director: Jeff Desom
original title: Rear Window Timelapse
country: Luxembourg
year: 2012
running time: 3 min.

synopsis

An ingenious analysis of Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller, in which sequentiality is replaced by parallelism, but the events in the observed apartment mostly retain their original order. The layering of narrative lines creates surprising meanings as the film break free from the rules of the genre.

The introductory sequence clearly splits up the space of the courtyard and the opposite windows into various planes while drawing attention to the role of the observer – the architect of the story. As opposed to the original movie, however, we never see him.
