Cinema on the Edge of Nothing

Published on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the birth of Alfred Hitchcock, this book celebrates the life and work of the filmmaker. Supreme representative of the seventh art, director of masterpieces, a milestone in world cinema, Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) made more than 50 films during his long career, from his beginnings in silent cinema to the films of the 1970s that terrorized entire generations. Hitchcock’s ability to maintain an almost unbearable tension, frame after frame, with such devices earned him the nickname “Master of Suspense”. Captivating plots, innovative editing, characteristic camera movements and framing: these signatures have made Hitchcock a true icon of film history, revered and still imitated today.
