Description
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho: A Casebook is a comprehensive collection of essays on the groundbreaking film Psycho. This book is ideal for teaching the language of cinema and the ways in which strong filmmakers can break Hollywood conventions. The essays cover various aspects of the film, including its structures of composition and cutting, narrative and genre building, and point of view. The casebook also represents a significant shift in film criticism methodologies, tracing the changes from early journalist reviews and auteurist approaches to current psychoanalytic and gender criticism. The book includes analyses of the film's score, its relationship to Hitchcock's visual construction, and an interview with the director. Through the use of stills taken directly from the film, an essay by Robert Kolker closely reads the film's extraordinary cinematic structure. Contributors to the casebook include leading film scholars and critics, offering a diverse range of perspectives on this influential film.
