All eyes will look towards the legendary Crucible Theatre in Sheffield as Shaun Murphy faces off against Wu Yize for the World Snooker Championship title.
The world of Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography is a surreal one. Every man a murderer or spy.
Every woman a femme fatale or murder victim. It is a violent universe of crime, paranoia and sexuality, and yet, paradoxically, a world without blood, sex or nudity. Whilst the modern filmmaker resorts to violent scenes of dismembered heads, naked bodies and Bacchic revelry, Hitchcock’s approach is one of subtlety, symbolism and cinematic technique. For all the bluster of modern filmmaking, there is yet to have been a filmmaker able to create a world quite as dangerous or seedy, as Alfred Hitchcock.
