’60s Hitchcock

By the 1960s, with multiple masterpieces already to his name, Alfred Hitchcock kept on innovating, pushing the boundaries of on-screen violence and harnessing his technical mastery to create commercial entertainment that doubled as a vehicle to explore his darkest and most personal obsessions. The shocking modernism of Psycho , the unfathomable existential terror of The Birds , and the perverse psychological mystery of Marnie —each is among the Master of Suspense’s most stylistically and thematically complex films and a key to understanding his career-long fascination with the links between sex, violence, guilt, and voyeurism.
