We will watch and discuss films that span the length of Alfred Hitchcock's cinematic career, with a special focus on "Vertigo," "Rear Window," "Psycho" and other masterpieces from the decades after World War Two. In addition to discussing Hitchcock's style and place in film history, we will also explore how his work reflects on the period's politics and popular genres.
