A century and a year have passed since Alfred Hitchcock directed his first film, but when he invites us to an intimate viewing of clips from his masterpieces, he sounds as sharp as he was on set. In an exciting and original blend between historical documentary and personal encounter, director Mark Cousins (The Eyes of Orson Welles) showcases some of Hitchcock’s most iconic scenes, starring giants like Tippi Hedren, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Gregory Peck, Janet Leigh, and Ingrid Bergman, with commentary in the master’s own voice: “this is how I created an air of loneliness, this is how I used lighting to trick the viewer, and did you notice the camera movement?” Appearing to come from Hitchcock’s lips, Cousins’ amusing and perceptive insight into these timeless films offers a one-of-a-kind lesson in cinema.
