Unit 4 The Cutting Edge

The Cutting Edge:
Rope, Dir.Alfred Hitchcock,
1948

Alfred Hitchcock for me is one of the best directors of all time. One of my all-time favourite is “The birds”. Which Alfred Hitchcock also directed.

The film about to dissect is called “Rope”.

In the beginning seen of the film you get a view of a downtown apartment block. You hear a man screen and get to witness the aftermath of a murder. And then a close-up shot of the rope. Hence the name of the film “Rope”. Once this happens you are gripped by a urge to find out what as happens and why is it happened. When the camera zooms out of the shot from the rope you find our first two characters/actors. The main actor/character is 

 

John Dall AKA Wyndham Brandon

The second character/actor is

Farley Granger AKA  "Philip Morgan"
With this character/actor in the beginning of the film you begin to see this actor breakdown in the way of being nervous and on edge and  "Brandon's" always correcting him to stay calm and collective.

which are also lovers in the film which is'nt obviouse in the film with actor.Brandon

you find out straightaway that he is the brains of the operation/murder with the actors boldness and ruthlessness

The film rope has a begining which is the murder the second sceneis the arrival of the guests including 

"James Stewart" AKA "Rupert Cadell".

this character/actor appears in the middle of the film. "James Stewart" 

at the end of the film he finally figures them out. At the end of the film he confronts to actors "Brandon" and "Morgan" and dissects them in a "Colombo" Kind of way breaking them down individuallyto one of them confesses to the murder.

The set of the film is an apartment with a big window at the back of the scene. with a fixed camera. here is not a lot of cut scenes in this film actually there is none. This is due to Alfred Hitchcock' editing there is one continuous camera shot. This gives an intense feeling of focus and awareness.

Hitchcock's 'one take' classic gets better with age.

Rope remains worth seeing, for its difference from cinema in general and from the rest of Hitchcock's work in particula

a deeply interesting film if not exactly a successful one ... you can feel it straining to articulate a truth it doesn't quite grasp.

the tenant

The tenant 
Director Roman Polanski  
The film made (1976) 

In Paris a shy and timid man named (Roman Polanski) also directed "The tenant". Played as (bureaucrat Trelkovsk).Trelkovsk Rents a old apartment in a upper-class building. 
"From the outset the building gives you a depressing feeling". 
(Bureaucrat Trelkovsk)  Meet the landlord named (Monsieur Zy) actor (Melvyn Douglas) he gives a stern warning "no funny business and no loud music"
in an interview with the landlord (Bureaucrat Trelkovsk mentions why did the apartment become available. (Monsieur Zy) replies the recent tenant committed suicide and jumped out of the window.
After the interview (bureaucrat Trelkovsk). Excerpts the terms and conditions
A few days later (bureaucrat Trelkovsk) He begins to see strange things. One day (bureaucrat Trelkovsk) looks out of his apartment window across the courtyard to the bathroom window and begins the see a strange thing.
But he shrugs it off like nothing happened a few days later you begin to see the deterioration of (bureaucrat Trelkovsk) as you slowly see him fall apart.
With director (Roman Polanski) he slowly takes away the safety of your home and turns it upside down.
With a very sickly colour palette. Mood shading. Although this was executed superbly I found myself still wanting answers not specifically but in general.
But maybe this is the direction of Roman Polanski. This is a very dark and twisted film taking you out of your comfort zone and putting you straight back there this is a horror film of a different kind.

The Tenant carries the most shocking double climax in all of cinema.

The Tenant is one of Roman Polanski's greatest and darkest films

Roman Polanski's key error is almost certainly casting himself in the lead, as he is not an adept enough thespian to pull of the challenging transformation of his character.
