Alfred Hitchcock Boeken
13 augustus 1899 – 29 april 1980
Alfred Hitchcock was een iconische regisseur en producent die veel technieken in de suspense- en thrillergenres baanbrekend ontwikkelde. Na een aanzienlijke carrière in zijn geboorteland Groot-Brittannië verhuisde Hitchcock naar Hollywood en werd Amerikaans staatsburger, terwijl hij ook zijn status als Brits onderdaan behield. Gedurende een carrière van zes decennia regisseerde hij meer dan vijftig speelfilms, van het stomme filmtijdperk tot aan kleurenpProducties. Hitchcock behoorde tot de meest herkenbare regisseurs bij het publiek en blijft een van de bekendste en populairste filmmakers aller tijden.
Based on the famous series of dialogues between Francois Truffaut and Alfred Hitchcock from the 1960s, the book moves chronologically through Hitchcock's films to discuss his career, techniques, and effects he achieved. It changed the way Hitchcock was perceived, as a popular director of suspense films - such as Psycho and The Birds - and revealed to moviegoers and critics, the depth of Hitchcock's perception and his mastery of the art form. As a result of the changed perceptions about Hitchcock, his masterpiece, Vertigo, hit the No 1 slot in Sight & Sound's recent poll of film-makers and critics, displacing Citizen Kane as the Best Film of all time.
