{"product_id":"9781839026195-secondhand-re-viewing-hitchcock-new-critical-perspectives","title":"Re-viewing Hitchcock: New Critical Perspectives","description":"Re-viewing Hitchcock  approaches Alfred Hitchcock's prolific career in film and television from a reception focus, charting the changing fortunes of the master auteur's work from 1926's silent  The Lodger  to his penultimate film, the controversial  Frenzy  of 1972. Each of the chapters, written by eminent international film scholars, critics and historians, offers a detailed analyses of the historical reception of key Hitchcock films. These include films that have enjoyed consistent critical success, such as  Rebecca  (1940),  Rear Window  (1954), and  North by Northwest  (1959), as well as those that have received shifting degrees of critical and scholarly praise, such as  Sabotage  (1936),  Rope  (1949),  Strangers on a Train  (1951),  Vertigo  (1958),  Psycho  (1960), and  The Birds  (1963). The contributors assess the significance of these changing critical perspectives and the extent to which they influence the meaning and significance of Hitchcock's films and filmmaking.  The book also sheds light on Hitchcock's lesser-known television work of the 1950s and the 60s, reassessing its relationship to his film career. In addition, it expands the focus beyond Anglo-American contexts to consider how Hitchcock's films have been received and interpreted in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50825917858011,"sku":"9781839026195-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d95c11d6-a228-4006-a687-6ecffd461aa9.jpg?v=1792401092","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781839026195-secondhand-re-viewing-hitchcock-new-critical-perspectives","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
