Focusing on one of the greatest filmmakers in film history, this documentary reveals the story of a man who didn't just understand filmmaking but helped develop it and became the master of suspense in films. Naturally, I am talking about Alfred Hitchcock! Hitchcock was not only a Director but also a well-respected Producer, Actor, Editor, Writer, and so on. He was a man of many talents! As a documentary, there are, of course, multiple interviews that take place. However, the celebrities who discuss Hitchcock are not shown in a typical interview style but with their voice over various clips and footage, along with many clips of Hitchcock also speaking. Those currently looking at a film career will find this documentary encouraging, especially when it comes to not giving up your goals. For example, did you know that Alfred Hitchcock's first two feature films were rejected for not being British enough? His third film, The Lodger, was also rejected for the same reason. Thankfully, with his passion and a little help from the media, Hitchcock was finally given a chance. The Lodger was a massive success, and his other previously declined films were soon also shown on the cinema screen. The rest is history. If you love the range of Hitchcock films, you'll also be pumped to find that the documentary focuses on the many movies we still speak about in the present day. Many of his films, including Psycho (one of my all-time favourites!), have incredible stories around them. Psycho was his first try at making a shocker, and Hitchcock decided to do this project all by himself, including backing himself financially. Psycho includes one of the most horrifying yet unique sequences- "the shower scene". Not only do we get to understand Psycho more, but we also hear about the great marketing that came with the release. I've always admired Hitchcock's ideas surrounding this, and I love how it was released in cinemas. Overall, this is an excellent documentary about one of the greatest Directors of all time. Hitchcock wasn't just a Director of many great films; he was a master of his craft, which changed films forever. There's a great insight into Hitchcock's life and the many films he created, including Psycho, The Birds etc. Watching how he dealt with the many issues he encountered is inspiring and encouraging for anyone working in film today. As a documentary, the film also reveals the many dramas in his life, including romance and his interactions with women. I am saddened to say this documentary does focus on Hitchcock and his interaction with females far longer than I prefer. In return, it skips over some details and topics. Either way, it's still a stunning feature, and even if you think you know anything about the man, I'm confident this feature will reveal something new that you didn't know before. * This review has been written for Sanity.
