Description

Silence in the films of Alfred Hitchcock is a subject of profound contemplation. In "A Silence from Hitchcock", Murray Pomerance explores the significance of silence as a dramatic force, examining its relationship to speech, memory, urbanity, guilt, mortality, and espionage. Through a close analysis of six films, including some frequently discussed works like "Notorious" and others less often examined such as "Frenzy" and "Topaz", Pomerance sheds new light on the power of silence in Hitchcock's oeuvre. This book offers fresh perspectives on the director's work, as well as insights into our own experience of cinema. By illuminating the role of silence in Hitchcock's films, Pomerance provides a nuanced understanding of the director's artistic vision and its enduring relevance to film studies today.
