came across this film on The Culture Trip
The 10 Best White-and-Black Movies In The History Of Cinema
and lucky enough to find
the complete movie on YouTube as it is
out of the ten movies
it was last in the list
along with my favourite 《Psycho》
somehow the whole movie was
overshadowed by the dead woman that
her successor as Mrs. De Winter
that poor girl who was here
since scene one
her name was never mentioned in the movie
elements of suspense, thriller, pscyho
as always are part and parcel of
Alfred Hitchcock’s
and unlike some modern thriller
which reveal some ridiculous reason
behind it all
movies of the era always
go back to human nature as
the source of all crimes
simple plain logic yet grabbing
as emotions and passion are
well portrayed
small cast, yes
simple setting, yes
black & white, yes
yet the story and people look so real that
you wouldn’t know
where it gonna lead you to
Rebecca (1940)
