What is the source of Hitchcock's magic? This book answers these questions by focusing upon the fabric of the films themselves, upon the way in which they enlist and sustain our desire, holding our attention by constantly withholding something from us.Decades after Alfred Hitchcocka Ts death, his work continues to draw passionate responses and critical acclaim. With Hitchcocka Ts Magic, Neil Badmington takes a new look at Hitchcocka Ts body of work to try to figure out just what it is that makes them so lastinga and why their influence has been so pervasive. Featuring detailed analyses of a number of Hitchcocka Ts most successful films, including Psycho, Rear Window, and The Birds, and drawing on the insights of poststructuralist theory, Hitchcocka Ts Magic is an innovative contribution to the never-ending discussion of the master of suspense.Motion picturesProduction and directionMotion picturesProduction and direction.791.43092Badmington Neil1971-917567MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825433503321Hitchcock's magic4054872UNINA
