Windows is a misunderstood comment on society. Viewers obviously didn't understand in 1980 exactly what director Gordan Willis was trying to convey. This is an examination of gender and sexuality that could never be made today. Shire gives an understated and believable performance and took this risky role that helped end her promising career. Shire however has the last laugh as she can proudly look back now and remember that she made an important film. The cinematography and set design makes this an important chapter in the urban thriller genre. Fans of Gordan Willis will be thrilled by the cinematography, as he directed this motion picture and thereby was given free reign to show off his creative genius. Shire however has the last laugh as she could proudly look back now and remember that she made an important film. This is a great complement to Coppla's The Conversation. The two make an exciting great double feature. I implore you to join me in my campaign to bring this underrated gem to DVD and help it achieve its rightful place among cinemas classic titles.
