Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
I loved the slow, atmospheric, claustrophobic, tension building first half and then the reveal around halfway just took this to a whole new level. Rebecca's presence engulfs everything and whilst you don't know her, you do at the same time. Masterful.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
Only the two this week, as fell asleep during the third one...
This list will be built upon moving forward, but at the end of February, this is how my ranking for 1960 looks.
It took me a good third to get into Rebecca, but now two thirds in, I'm obsessed!
Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
The Secret Agent - Bold choices made with this, some worked, other didn't. Very solid.
IIHLIKY - Tense, claustrophobic and funny. Rose Byrne is sensational.
Le Trou - Tense, well done prison escape drama. Great acting and direction.
