Publisher description
In an American Film Institute poll in 2001, Psycho was voted the greatest thriller of all time. In spite of the widespread acknowledgment of Hitchcock's and his collaborators' achievements, the film's complexity and sophistication have not been fully appreciated. Raymond Durgnat's classic study provides a minute analysis of this remarkable film, considering how it enables us to think afresh about questions of spectatorship, Hollywood narrative codes, psychoanalysis, editing, and shot composition. With more than 150 photos, this is likely to become the definitive book on the subject. This new edition includes an original introduction by Henry Miller
