More about the book

Focusing on suspense as a central theme in Alfred Hitchcock's cinema, Christopher Morris presents a groundbreaking analysis that deconstructs its meaning, linking it to concepts of dependence and hanging. He explores the representation of suspense in visual arts before delving into Hitchcock's films. Through this lens, hanging figures are examined as symbols that question human identity and rationality, suggesting that the resolution of suspense is ultimately an illusion.
