(Mark Cousins, UK 2022, 120 min., DCP)
Mark Cousins, director of the Story of Film series and The Eyes of Orson Welles, digs deep into Alfred Hitchcock’s life and career 125 years after his birth and 100 years after his first film premiered in the United Kingdom. We hear Cousins and Hitchcock in conversation, but soon Hitchcock himself is taking us through his career, lighting on specific scenes and shots, explaining what he wants you to feel and the techniques he used to do it. Is all of cinema a trick or is it some kind of magic, transporting images and emotions across the years. Join Cousins as he explores this question through Hitchcock’s films.
