Must Watch: BFI's Trippy 'The Genius of Hitchcock' Tribute Trailer
Speaking of the BFI, we've got a must see trailer harkening back to the master of suspense himself,Alfred Hitchcock. The BFI is hosting an exhibition/retrospective looking back at the many tremendous films of Mr. Hitchcock, and to kick that off they've released a trailer. The full title is The Genius of Hitchcock: Celebrating Cinema's Master of Suspense and this quick, but outstanding, trailer features footage from many of his classics like Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, The Birds,Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, The Lodger and plenty more. It's a rather fun and fitting tribute wrapped up in a nifty short video. Here's the official trailer for BFI's The Genius of Hitchcock series, from YouTube (via TheMovieBox): From BFI's Hitchcock page: "One of the world's greatest directors, Alfred Hitchcock excelled in a variety of genres during his early British career, before moving to Hollywood in 1939. It was here he became known as the 'Master of Suspense', producing some of the most analysed works in the history of cinema. With Vertigo in contention for the top spot in Sight & Sound's Greatest Films Poll, and the BFI's restoration of his surviving silent films, Hitchcock's remarkable body of work remains as relevant as ever." The BFI presents a major celebration of the most influential and iconic British film director of all time.
