Hitchcock for the Holidays
Merry Hitch-mas to all! For five decades, Alfred Hitchcock explored our innermost anxieties, desires, and obsessions in his diabolically constructed thrillers, which redefined the mechanics of screen terror through meticulous editing, voyeuristic camera work, and unforgettable set pieces. From early British classics like The 39 Steps and Sabotage to his endlessly analyzed and imitated 1950s masterpieces such as Strangers on a Train , Vertigo , and North by Northwest and often-overlooked late-career auteurist statements like Topaz and Frenzy , the Master of Suspense tapped into the peculiar pleasures of fear like no filmmaker before or since.
