A few years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed to us what her favorite movie scene was. Discover the sequence in question, taken from a famous thriller!
Although she has been rather discreet lately, Gwyneth Paltrow remains a very popular Hollywood actress. No doubt because the one who has filmed for the greatest, from David Fincher (Seven) to Wes Anderson (The Tenenbaum Family) via James Gray (Two Lovers), is for many the incarnation of Pepper Potts, the secretary of Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A character she played for over a decade, from Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame.
A few years ago, AlloCiné, who had the chance to meet Gwyneth Paltrow, took the opportunity to ask her what her favorite movie scene was. With passion, the actress, who recently made an improbable statement about Marvel, did not hesitate long to reveal it to us.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s favorite movie sequence is from the famous thriller Rear Window directed by Alfred Hitchcock. “This is the scene where Grace Kelly will search the apartment and the owner returns”the Oscar-winning actress told us for her role in Shakespeare in Love. “James Stewart watch it all from a distance, through your window.”
“There is so much suspense”continues Gwyneth Paltrow with stars in her eyes. “And it’s so well filmed, so well done. He’s stuck in his wheelchair, and there’s nothing he can do to help him! He had to send the woman he loves to search the apartment for him, and he sees her facing great danger…I’ve never seen a scene like that.”
Released in French cinemas in 1955, Fenêtre sur cour tells the story of a reporter immobilized by a cast, who observes from his window the comings and goings of his neighbors. The bizarre behavior of a sales representative intrigues him to such an extent that he believes him to be the murderer of his wife. Fantasy or reality?
