Alfred Hitchcock
Hitchcock’s British silents The Lodger and Blackmail show a genius in development, while his move to America brought great acclaim but struggles with the studio system. Manipulating human fears and desires, the great films, including Vertigo, Rear Window and Psycho, are studies of dark obsessions - but whose, Hitchcock’s or our own?
Tutors: Philip Lloyd and Sue Burge.
Course fee (includes study pack): £65; Members £60; Conc. £50.
