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.
