Description
He revolutionized the thriller genre and inspired waves of subsequent filmmakers. He made movies designed for maximum commercial appeal but imbued them with intelligence, a subtle wit, and a profound knowledge of the human condition. In this 1964 interview, Alfred Hitchcock discusses the impact of horror films on society and human behavior while exploring the building blocks of cinematic storytelling-for example, analyzing Arbogast's death in Psycho and demonstrating the power of film editing with his own simple shot choices. The legendary director also reflects on his early work as a silent movie title card editor and assistant director, the challenge of orchestrating 28,000 avian performers for The Birds, the closing scenes of Shadow of a Doubt (his personal favorite), and more. Also interviewed is composer Bernard Herrmann, who describes his working relationship with the master of suspense.
