Domain over the narrative is one of the many film lessons that the Suspense Master offers in Retrospective Alfred Hitchcock between March 6 and 16, in Brazilian cinematic.

The show presents the work of Hitchcock with a selection of 14 iconic feature films of the filmmaker, as Indiscreet window, Psychosis, The birds and International intriguel. The opening is on March 6, at 20h, with an outdoor session of A falling body. Earlier, from 18h, there will be an opening toast.

Hitchcock He was a meticulous director who controlled every detail of his scenes. Its frames suggest nothing but what is within the board, guiding the viewer’s attention accurately. His ability to manipulate film language is evident in each of the films selected for the show.

In Interludea simple camera movement – from the general plane to the plane near the key in the hand of Grace Kelly – Raises the suspense and establishes the protagonist’s identification with the public by revealing his mission and the challenges to be overcome.

Already in Coat thiefthe uncertainty about whether Cary Grant is opening or closing the car door reinforces the doubt of his innocence until the last second. In The birdsthe field/counterfall during Tippi Hedren’s route on the speedboat creates a bird point of view, giving the impression that they become aware of humans. And in Diabolical feasttension grows with the illusion of a sequence plan, reinforcing the immersion of the viewer.

Psychoanalysis also had a great influence on Hitchcock. Indiscreet window Explores Voyeurism in a unique way by making its protagonist a viewer and viewers of an viewer.

In Psychosisthe Bates House reflects the protagonist’s psyche: the ground floor represents the ego (where Norman dwells), the second floor symbolizes the superego (where the mother lives) and the basement, the id (where the mother’s corpse is).

Already A falling body It deepens Freudian psychoanalysis, exploring the dynamics between Eros (life drive) and Thanatos (death drive). Scottie’s obsession with turning Judy into Madeleine illustrates the compulsion to repetition, as described by Freud: a cycle of passed trauma in search of control. This forced transformation also reflects narcissistic idealization, in which Scottie does not love Judy, but his ability to fit in his idealized fantasy.

The theme of the “wrong man” is recurring in Hitchcockas seen in International intrigue, The man who knew too much, The 39 steps, Coat thief, Frenzy and in Dial m to kill – In this case, the “wrong woman”.

Hitchcock He believed that the public identified himself more with an unjustly accused innocent than with a running criminal. This fixation may be linked to one of the few episodes of his personal life who shared with his audience: when he was five, he had behaved badly and his father sent him to the police station with a ticket; The policeman read the note and locked it in jail for a few minutes, saying, “That’s what we do with mischievous boys.”

Although it was reserved about your personal life, consider that your strict direction, mise-en-scène Calculated and narrative meticulously constructed are a reflection of an artist who values ​​the goal will be a mistake. The control of HitchcockIn fact, it reveals your worldview. Thus, we can rethink the Cameos director as more than mere fun apparitions; They reinforce their subjective presence in the movies. His films are his signature: unmistakable, inimitable, and a true window for the author.

Admission is free and tickets will be distributed one hour before sessions. For outdoor sessions, there is no distribution of tickets. In case of rain, outdoor sessions are transferred to the movie theater.
