Series

Hitchcock's cryptonymies ; 2

Summary note

This second volume of Hitchcock's Cryptonomies presents the director's works as a radical collage of images and absences, letters and numbers, citations and sounds that together mark Hitchcock as a knowing figure who was entirely aware of his-and cinema's-place at the dawn of a global media culture, as well as of the cinema's revolutionary impact on perception and memory.
