From Griffith to Spielberg, Renoir to Fellini, the history of
film is writ large in the work of artists who dreamed in frames
per second. First among equals remains Alfred
Hitchcock, among the earliest directors to establish a popular
awareness of his unifying sensibilities in visual craft, thematic
range, and absorbing storytelling. With his roots in art direction,
this English provocateur remains among the most widely imitated,
broadly admired auteurs, at once mainstream in his popularity
and utterly singular in the execution of his movies--ingenious
and narcotic cinematic marvels that continue to chill and thrill
fans even as they invite fresh study and frank homage from each
new generation of moviemakers.
