Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. This reads more like an illustrated trivia book than a dramatized biography. It is densely packed with anecdotes from the dozens of films on which Hitchcock worked and peopled with the dozens and dozens of major stars, writers, directors and producers with whom Hitchcock worked, lingering longest with Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, and Alma Hitchcock, Hitchcock's wife and collaborator. It is told in framing sequences with Hitchcock regaling people with stories from his career, mostly progressing chronologically but frequently skipping around in time in a manner that confuses as much as it helps make a point about his career. I disliked that the allegations of toxic workplace, sexual harassment, and sexual assault made by Tippi Hedron are not addressed, though her book came out previous to the two original volumes of this work collected here. Indeed, the author seems to go out of his way to lay the groundwork for gaslighting by highlighting the pranks Hitchcock would play on set with many of his cast and crew and portraying Hitchcock as an asexual person who simply had innocent, boyish crushes on the many blondes he hired -- y'know, except for all the leering double entendres he tosses out in the course of the book. Too worshipful. Too crammed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Psycho" traumatized viewers around the world. Never before had the angst or the suspense been so well presented in cinema. But where does the talent of this Alfred Hitchcock come from, the one nicknamed the "Master of Suspense"? To find out, we must first go back to his youth, in England, during the first half of the 20th century. Having grown up in a Catholic family - a religious originality that will be felt in a large part of his cinema - "Hitch" is an atypical Englishman who, very early on, has a taste for telling chilling stories. The temptation to work for the cinema will not be long in coming, first as a graphic designer where his visual talent will lead him to make his debut behind the camera, as an assistant and then as a full director. It is also here that he will meet Alma Reville, his assistant and wife who will accompany him throughout his storied career, including the jump to the big time in Hollywood. Discover the life of undoubtedly one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, the in-depth story film by film, with plenty of juicy anecdotes and amazing insights from interviews with Francois Truffaut and others, of a colorful and quite simply extraordinary artist.
