"'Rope' Unleashed" is an American English-language documentary film by French filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau and he made quite a few of these Hitchcock documentaries back then when this one came out, namely in 2001, so it has its 15th anniversary this year. This one here runs for approximately half an hour and focuses on Hitchcock's 1940's film "Rope", a murder story involving two best friends. I have not seen the film that this is about, but this documentary only partially got me interested. I did not like how it focused so much on the protagonists' homosexuality and I am not sure how much this was a crucial factor in "Rope" as none of it is mentioned in the basic plot of the film's IMDb profile page. All in all, just like with some other stuff I watched by Bouzereau, I cannot say this got me curious at all about the film sadly. I also feel that it lacks a bit in terms of telling us anything that goes beyond the basic story and some interpretations, like Hitchcock's personal connection with this film for example. That's why I give it a thumbs-down.
