SPACE CONFINED IN THAT WHICH IS VISIBLE

Abstracts

EN

Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock, Peter Weir’s The Truman Show and One Hour Photo by Mark Romanek are films in which watching and seeing is the most important, and the only form of activity. The living space of the protagonist in the aforementioned films is reduced to what they are able to see, and consequently their contact with reality is also limited. Space limited in the physical sense is also the starting point for the visual vicissitudes of the film characters. In addition, it is worth noting that all of these films were created at a time when the medium on which they focus, was soon to be replaced by other media.
