W63E Danger, Suspense, and Deception: The Best of Alfred Hitchcock (Zoom; OLLI @ ASU)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
In his legendary career as a director, Alfred Hitchcock created dense, suspenseful films filled with flawed heroes, charming villains and moral ambiguity. In this four-week online course, we’ll consider some of Hitchcock’s very best films, focusing on two films each week that share a common theme. Students should watch the films on their own; in class, we’ll look at brief film clips and discuss key elements. Whether you’ve enjoyed Hitchcock films for many years or just discovered them, this is a chance to go deeper into the mind of a brilliant, complicated man and the surprising, confounding, entertaining world he created on film.
Jay Sherwin is a writer and consultant who has been watching, studying and enjoying Hitchcock films for decades. He created a walking tour of Alfred Hitchcock’s San Francisco that attracts Hitchcock fans from around the world, and he loves to share his Hitchcock obsession with fellow film lovers everywhere. He has taught this online course for OLLI programs nationwide.
