Autor: Donald Spoto

Número de Páginas: 496

This definitive illustrated survey of all of Alfred Hitchcock's films is a book no movie buff or Hitchcock fan can afford to be without. The monumental scope of Alfred Hitchcock's work remains unsurpassed by any other movie director, past or present. So many of his movies have achieved classic status that even a partial list—Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo, Spellbound—brings a flood of memories. In this essential text, reissued on the occasion of Hitchcock's centennial, internationally renowned Hitchcock authority Donald Spoto describes and analyzes every movie made by this master filmmaker. Illustrated throughout with shots from each film, The Art of Alfred Hitchcock also includes a storyboard section, a complete filmography, and “A Hitchcock Album” (sixteen pages of photos) as an added celebration of his life.

Pour la première fois, l'œuvre d'Hitchcock est étudiée à partir de ses archives personnelles, déposées et conservées dans le fonds de la bibliothèque de l'Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science à Los Angeles. Bill Krohn apporte des informations inédites et de première main sur les méthodes du cinéaste, grâce à une enquête menée pas à pas dans ses dossiers (plans de travail, mémos, différentes versions des scénarios, dessins, storyboards, photos de repérage, etc). A travers chacun des films américains d'Hitchcock, et une étude approfondie de trois films des années quarante - Cinquième colonne, L'ombre d'un doute, Les enchaînés - cinq films des années cinquante - L'inconnu du Nord Express, Fenêtre sur cour, L'homme qui en savait trop, Sueurs froides, La mort aux trousses - deux films des années soixante - Psychose, Les oiseaux -, Bill Krohn livre au lecteur sa découverte d'un Hitchcock inconnu, dont il a pu retrouver les traces.

Il révèle une démarche artistique en mouvement, sans cesse nourrie de l'apport de...

Hitchcock and the Methods of Suspense

Autor: William Hare

Número de Páginas: 359

Alfred Hitchcock had a gift for turning the familiar into the unfamiliar, the mundane into the unexpected. A director known for planning the entire movie before the first day of filming began by using the storyboard approach, Hitchcock was renowned for his relaxed directing style, resulting in an excellent rapport with his actors. Decades later, Hitchcock’s films stand as sterling examples of innovative technique, infused with meaning that only repeated viewing can reveal. This work examines themes, techniques, and the filmmaking process in 15 of Hitchcock’s best known films: The 39 Steps, Rebecca, Shadow of a Doubt, Spellbound, Notorious, Rope, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Frenzy and Family Plot. It explores the auteur’s treatments of psychoanalysis, voyeurism, and collective fears during the Cold War. Also presented are key stories behind several Hitchcock classics, such as the director’s stormy relationships with Raymond Chandler and David O. Selznick that resulted in synergetic success for some of his most successful films. The book includes numerous photographs and an extensive...

Cómics en pantalla

Autor: Caño Díaz, Héctor

Número de Páginas: 362

Los cómics parten de una premisa esquemática para sintetizar la trama usando recursos estilísticos propios. Un hombre apuesto con amplio mentón como Dick Tracy o Flash Gordon se asocia con el héroe desde el primer instante. Un personaje de cómic se caracteriza por su impacto inmediato, y como tal puede conducirnos por un relato de aventuras, detectivesco, terrorífico, del Oeste... Las películas basadas en cómics no se cuentan por docenas, ni tampoco por cientos: se cuentan por millares. El Séptimo Arte no puede mirar por encima de hombro al Noveno Arte. Como remedio para el olvido, este estudio recupera un volumen importante de la producción cinematográfica del siglo xx sepultada en los archivos, subestimada o simplemente desconocida. Por el interés que suscitan las superproducciones de hoy basadas en héroes de cómic, conviene revalorizar el cine adaptado enmarcándolo en una dinámica con más de cien años de antigüedad, repleta de perlas maravillosas que esperan ser redescubiertas y estimadas en el siglo xxi.

Autor: Stephen Rebello

Número de Páginas: 318

A “meticulous history” of the classic suspense film based on exclusive interviews with the director, writers, cast, and crew (The New York Times Book Review). First released in June 1960, Psycho altered the landscape of horror films forever. But just as compelling as the movie itself is the story behind it, which has been adapted as a movie starring Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock, Helen Mirren as his wife Alma Reville, and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh. Stephen Rebello brings to life the creation of one of Hollywood’s most iconic films, from the story of Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein, the real-life inspiration for the character of Norman Bates, to Hitchcock’s groundbreaking achievements in cinematography, sound, editing, and promotion. Packed with captivating insights from the film’s stars, writers, and crewmembers, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho is a riveting and definitive history of a signature Hitchcock cinematic masterpiece.

Alfred Hitchcock

Autor: Nicholas Haeffner

Número de Páginas: 175

Nicholas Haeffner provides a comprehensive introduction to Alfred Hitchcock's major British and Hollywood films and usefully navigates the reader through a wealth of critical commentaries. One of the acknowledged giants of film, Hitchcock's prolific half-century career spanned the silent and sound eras and resulted in 53 films of which Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960) are now seen as classics within the suspense, melodrama and horror genres. In contrast to previous works, which have attempted to get inside Hitchcock's mind and psychoanalyse his films, this book takes a more materialist stance. As Haeffner makes clear, Hitchcock was simultaneously a professional film maker working as part of a team in the film factories of Hollywood, a media celebrity, and an aspiring artist gifted with considerable entrepreneurial flair for marketing himself and his films. The book makes a case for locating the director's remarkable body of work within traditions of highbrow, middlebrow and lowbrow culture, appealing to different audience constituencies in a calculated strategy. The book upholds the case for taking Hitchcock's work seriously and challenges his popular...

Hitchcock: imágenes entre líneas

Autor: Elisa María Martínez Martínez

Número de Páginas: 257

Aquest volum estudia com es construeix la imatge en moviment dins de l'univers fílmic de Hitchcock, des de la interacció paraula-imatge en el guió fins a la composició dels enquadraments i l'elaboració dels moviments de càmera, passant per la realització dels storyboards. Sense oblidar altres aspectes relatius a la narració fílmica, es revaloritzen aquí els aspectes purament plàstics. Hitchcock usa elements extrets d'un patrimoni visual de diversos segles, aportant així una riquesa de referències iconogràfiques i compositives que no pot menysprear-se. Per aquest motiu la utilització d'un plantejament analític semblant al de les altres arts no hagi de considerar-se reduccionista, sinó una manera d'abordar importants aspectes en la materialitat de la construcció fílmica pròpia d'aquest mestre del suspens.

Alfred Hitchcock

Autor: Peter Ackroyd

Alfred Hitchcock was a strange child. Fat, lonely, burning with fear and ambition, his childhood was an isolated one, scented with fish from his father's shop. Afraid to leave his bedroom, he would plan great voyages, using railway timetables to plot an exact imaginary route across Europe. So how did this fearful figure become the one of the most respected film directors of the twentieth century? As an adult, Hitch rigorously controlled the press's portrait of himself, drawing certain carefully selected childhood anecdotes into full focus and blurring all others out. In this quick-witted portrait, Ackroyd reveals something more: a lugubriously jolly man fond of practical jokes, who smashes a once-used tea cup every morning to remind himself of the frailty of life. Iconic film stars make cameo appearances, just as Hitch did in his own films. Grace Kelly, Carey Grant and James Stewart despair of his detached directing style, and, perhaps most famously of all, Tippi Hedren endures cuts and bruises from a real-life fearsome flock of birds. Alfred Hitchcock wrests the director's chair back from the master of control and discovers what lurks just out of sight, in the corner of the shot.

The Moment of Psycho

Autor: David Thomson

Número de Páginas: 208

It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in forty minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before; the movie industry -- even America itself -- would never be the same. In The Moment of Psycho, film critic David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock's career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film: it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film -- and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does.
