My Name is Alfred Hitchcock (Documentary)
Featuring archive footage of Alfred Hitchcock himself, “My Name is Alfred Hitchcock” is now available to own on DVD and Blu-ray from Cohen Media Group.
A century after Alfred Hitchcock’s first film, he remains one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. But how does his vast body of work and legacy hold up in today’s society?
Mark Cousins, the award-winning filmmaker behind “The Story of Film: An Odyssey,” “The Eyes of Orson Welles” and “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas,” tackles this question and looks at the auteur with a new and radical approach: through the use of his own voice. As Hitchcock rewatches his films, viewers are taken on an odyssey through his vast career — his vivid silent films, the legendary films of the 1950s and 60s, and his later works — in playful and revealing ways.
Bonus features on the release include the film’s theatrical trailer; an alternate trailer with narration by writer/director Mark Cousins; audio of narrator Alastair McGowan’s voice test; graphics animation tests; Mark Cousins Introduces “Notorious,” “Rope” and “Saboteur;” and Cinema Q&A with Chuck Rose: Interview with Director Mark Cousins.
