Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960) will often become the film student’s building blocks.ĥ Given this level of attention (friendly and hostile), it is unsurprising that books and articles are still published every year about his work. In fact, in many cases, the student will be introduced to several film concepts through Hitchcock’s work: the auteur theory, the male gaze, voyeurism, fetishism, genre and ideology, narrative and suspense. An undergraduate student wishing to study cinema will ultimately have to watch Hitchcock’s films, read analyses of his films, and note their influence. From François Truffaut’s interview to Laura Mulvey’s and Robin Wood’s analyses, film commentators have extensively investigated his life, work, brand, and legacy. The Cambridge Companion to Alfred HitchcockĢ Cambridge University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-8-1Ĥ It often seems that more words have been written about Alfred Hitchcock than any other film director.
