Watched from the viewpoint of what is being seen, Hitchcocks’s film “Rear Window” is a rich documentary about everyday life in modern world. It bears in it a combination of the elements of fragmentary living: uncertainty, fear, solitude within sociability, the dramatic and the tragic. The hegemony of the passive and photographic eye, not well fit to the dilemmas of loving, tell us that look mediated by the camera is a metaphor of seeing in everyday life and of living.
