Dir.: George Cukor | 113 minutes

Gaslight

USA 1944 | 113 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Paula, a gifted opera singer, marries Gregory and moves to her childhood home in London, where she was raised by her aunt until the aunt was murdered. Now, Paula begins to feel that her senses are betraying her, her memory is deceiving, and she gradually loses confidence in herself and rarely leaves the house. Her actions arouse the attention of the neighbors and a detective from Scotland Yard. Bergman and Boyer are magnificent; the cinematography is expressive, and George Cukor’s direction is elegant and manages to drape a psychological thriller as an almost romantic drama. In short, Gaslight is a masterful work that should not be missed.
