The voice of the great filmmaker takes you on a personal tour of his filmography in his own words -- or, at least, very much like something like it in this superlative 'fictional documentary.'
What a captivating and insightful review! Your deep dive into My Name is Alfred Hitchcock brilliantly captures the film's essence and unique structure. I love how you highlight the blend of documentary and fiction, making it accessible for both longtime fans of Hitchcock and newcomers alike. Your personal connection to the subject, especially your NYU class experience, adds a rich layer to your perspective. The way you articulate the film's exploration of themes like Escape, Desire, and Loneliness is particularly striking. It makes me eager to watch this film and experience the cinematic journey you’ve so vividly described!
Mark Cousins is a genius. I saw his « The First Movie » years ago. It seemed then, and now, that I’d seen something very rare and original. It was deeply heartfelt and intellectually stimulating. I can’t wait to see this new film.
