Synopsis
Reviews
"Another book on Hitchcock? Saying something new about Hitchcock is indeed a tall order. However, John Orr's painstaking location of the director's work in relation to the major achievements of silent cinema, to the films of Murnau, Lang and Eisenstein, together with his perceptive demonstration of the central importance of Hitchcock's work to British and American popular cinema, to European art-house directors, and to contemporary filmmakers as diverse as David Lynch, Gus Van Sant and Wong Kar Wai, is a substantial achievement. The book, grounded in a deep and comprehensive knowledge of film history as well as a detailed and subtle critical knowledge of Hitchcock's films, is an important and welcome addition to the literature on the director."
-- Tom Ryall, Sheffield Hallam University, author of Alfred Hitchcock and the British Cinema
