"This excellent and compelling collection of essays, all of which center on singular and iconic moments in Hitchcock's oeuvre, provides an innovative approach to reading images embedded in our cultural consciousness. Once again, the complexity and brilliance of Hitchcock's filmic mind is made apparent, but this book does not shy away from discussing difficult and controversial issues with regard to our love for this 'master' of cinematic form."
