About Me

I love Art, Film, Culture and Literature. Most of the film stuff I know revolves around Alfred Hitchcock, but I’m continuing to learn more (I’m constantly looking up film-related things on wikipedia)… I’m always interested in complex, intriguing and aesthetically pleasing films.

A Single Man

I loved this movie. It was aesthetically pleasing overall (which I expected and I love the early 1960's, so I knew I would be hooked in that aspect of the film). The topics in the movie really resonated with me, especially Falconer's realizations at the end of the film and Kenny's lecture about the faults of perception. I've never seen men sexualized in a film before, such a breath of fresh air from sexualized women!

Just saw 39 Steps again, and was reminded of the close plot references that recur in North by Northwest, almost a remake? Even down to the high camera angles and the close ups of shoes. 82 minutes of great movie making

Thanks, please pass on any other stuff that you have read re Hitch. I am still wading through '1001 movies you must see before you die' - very subjective but a good reference to what's out there and what has inspired the current 'auteurs'

Just saw North by Northwest again, loved the high and low level photography (Sergio L must have been watching too) I had forgotten about the final shot of the train going into the tunnel - very rude!
