Alfred Hitchcock (Graphic Novel). Band 1

Der Mann aus London

2019

"Im Leben geht es nicht nur ums Atmen. Es geht auch darum, atemlos zu sein." 1960 traumatisierte "Psycho" Kinogänger auf der ganzen Welt. Nie zuvor waren Angst und Spannung derart brillant auf der Leinwand inszeniert worden. Woher kommt das Talent eines Alfred Hitchcock, des Mannes, der als "Master of Suspense" in die Kinogeschichte eingehen sollte? Diese zweiteilige Graphic Novel wirft ein Schlaglicht auf das Leben des visionären Regisseurs. In Form zahlreicher Geschichten aus seinem reichhaltigen Leben erfahren wir von seiner katholischen Jugend im England der Jahrhundertwende, seinen ersten Schritten in den Londoner Filmstudios und dem weltumfassenden Ruhm, der ihm in den 50ern zuteilwurde. Workaholic, Perfektionist, Scherzbold und Koloss in mehr als einer Hinsicht - Hitchcock ist und bleibt ein Phänomen!

Alfred Hitchcock

The Master of Suspense

2022

“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.
