Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was nicknamed the “master of suspense.” Across more than fifty films, he turned the thriller into an art of manipulation. Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window: every time, the camera does much more than tell a story. It plays on our nerves.
His favorite subject is not crime. It is looking itself: guilt, obsession, voyeurism. Hitchcock films the viewer as much as the characters.
