This week, we review The Bedroom Window (1987), Curtis Hanson’s suspenseful neo-noir thriller steeped in voyeurism, deception, and moral ambiguity. Quentin Tarantino recommended it so we thought why not. Steve Guttenberg stars as Terry, a Baltimore businessman who becomes entangled in a murder investigation after his affair with his boss’s wife, played by Isabelle Huppert, leads him to report a crime he didn’t actually witness. Elizabeth McGovern co-stars as the potential next victim, drawing Terry deeper into a dangerous cat-and-mouse game.
With a Hitchcockian setup of mistaken identity and unreliable perception, this film raises intriguing questions about truth, responsibility, and the cost of good intentions gone awry.
