There are few filmmakers in the history of the craft who are as revered for their work, and as associated with a particular style, as Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
Hitchcock’s work is so distinctive, his name has become an adjective to describe a well-executed, suspense thriller or drama (e.g. David Fincher’s “Se7en” is a Hitchcockian thriller filled with mystery, murder, and suspense-filled thrills worthy of the master of suspense himself.)
No doubt that if you’re passionate about filmmaking and cinema, you’ve seen plenty of interviews and/or video essays about Hitch. But as usual, my hope is to share some insight that you might not have heretofore come across.
