I haven't seen since I was a teenager, I don't think, but I remember it well. Almost the entire film was set in one room, with Jimmy Stewart in a full-leg cast, watching the apartment across the courtyard through a telescope (he thought he caught his neighbour murdering his wife). Hardly any action, but when it finally happened, man! I was literally on the edge of my seat, as if by getting three inches closer to the screen I might somehow influence the action.
You were right to clout me for neglecting to mention the minimalism; that's fucking good craft.
