Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock, 1940)

[cahiers_du_2006]

I still find this painful to watch. Melodramas were never my thing. Still I like it better the second time around. It's harder to pick out the hitchcock influenced moments, and it's not really clear until toward the end with the character of Jack Favell. Also, more obviously, the whole motif of events being influenced by the presence of dead

I'm here. Be at peace.

During all of that world/class war stuff, you know the only thing Hitchcock cared about was whether or not that painting of Rebecca looked sufficiently creepy enough.

Yeah, reminds me of how shit it is when people actually enjoy eating food while people are starving to death in the world.
