About Alfred Hitchcock
Hitchcock is one of Britain’s greatest exports, a pioneering director whose films of technical innovation, relentless thrills, sharp wit and playful humour still make firm statements on the big screen.
Themes of guilt, paranoia and voyeuristic desire are prevalent through his career with his keen eye for bold frames, iconic set pieces and suspenseful editing still widely influential to this day.
