"Psycho" traumatized viewers around the world. Never before had the
angst or the suspense been so well presented in cinema. But where does
the talent of this Alfred Hitchcock come from, the one nicknamed the
Master of Suspense? To find out, we must first go back to his youth, in
England, during the first half of the 20th century. Having grown up in a
Catholic family - a religious originality that will be felt in a large
part of his cinema - "Hitch" is an atypical Englishman who, very early
on, has a taste for telling chilling stories. The temptation to work for
the cinema will not be long in coming, first as a graphic designer where
his visual talent will lead him to make his debut behind the camera, as
an assistant and then as a full director. It is also here that he will
meet Alma Reville, his assistant and wife who will accompany him
throughout his storied career, including the jump to the big time in
Hollywood. Discover the life of undoubtedly one of the greatest
filmmakers of all time, the in-depth story film by film, with plenty of
juicy anecdotes and amazing insights from interviews with Francois
Truffaut and others, of a colorful and quite simply extraordinary
artist.
