What is Alfred Hitchcock (Critical Insights) about?

Regarded as "The Master of Suspense" and one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, Alfred Hitchcock is remembered for a long career, consisting of more than fifty films made in six decades. This volume discusses themes that make a film truly "Hitchcockian"-the plot twist, voyeurism, and the innocent man accused-and analyzes some of Hitchcock's best-known work, including Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, and more. This inaugural volume in the Critical Insights Film series is intended to contribute to the ongoing discourse about the "Master of Suspense," his body of work, and his larger influence on world culture. All essay contributors have been selected from across the spectrum of Hitchcock enthusiasts, providing in-depth, versatile, and accessible coverage of all key issues and interpretations for the high school or undergraduate student. The text offers analyses of Alfred Hitchcock based on cultural and historical contexts, close viewings from particular critical standpoints (from traditional to postmodern), comparisons in the light of other films, and critical receptions over time.
