Dark Knight: The Life and Films of Alfred Hitchcock
Tuesdays 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
October 1 until December 10, 2013
Join Professor Lanin Gyurko as he explores the life and films of one of the greatest film directors, Alfred Hitchcock, master of suspense, mystery, and intrigue. Films from the silent and sound eras, in black and white and color, and biopics will be discussed. The course will highlight both the films’ spellbinding content and their use of dazzling cinematic techniques, as well as Hitchcock's adroit utilization of star power--from Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier to Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, and Kim Novak. Films that will be studied include The Lodger, Blackmail, Rebecca, Suspicion, Shadow of a Doubt, The Parradine Case, Notorious, Strangers on a Train, Psycho, Rear Window, The Birds, Marnie, and Vertigo, named in 2012 by Sight and Sound as the greatest film of all time.
