My Name is Alfred Hitchcock
Dir Mark Cousins, UK 2022 On UK release
My Name is Alfred Hitchcock is Mark Cousin’s love letter to Britain’s greatest director, a two-hour essay that takes the road less travelled in approaching its celebrated subject. It’s a delight.
The film’s central, surprisingly successful conceit, is that it is (according to the opening titles) “Written and voiced by Alfred Hitchcock” – clearly an impossibility. “I know I’ve been dead for 40 years,” Hitch admits, but he wants to speak to us 21st century filmgoers about his work.
