#UCTSummerSchool2021: The Cinema of Alfred Hitchcock - Lecture 3

Hitchcock is perhaps the Shakespeare of cinema: constantly innovative, crossing and intermixing the genres of comedy, romance and thriller, and eliciting exciting interest and commentary from both academic and popular audiences. This course examines films from the full range of his career. The discussion will be framed with commentary from a wide range of critics and analysts. In this sense the course hopes to touch on multiple dimensions of inquiry, for to study Hitchcock is in many ways to study the history of twentieth century cinema and its obsessions.
