W69E The Best of Alfred Hitchcock, Part 3 (Zoom; OLLI @ U of A)

Zoom | Registration opens 12/16/2025 10:00 AM EST

As a filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock was adept at telling very intimate stories, often about marriage or other personal relationships. But Hitchcock was equally skilled at exploring the geopolitical issues of his time on a much larger scale. In this two-week online study group, the third installment of our “Best of Hitchcock” series, our theme will be “Domestic Drama and International Intrigue.” We’ll consider four more of Hitchcock’s best films and discuss his remarkable talent for telling stories on both a personal and global level. Students should watch the films on their own; in class, we’ll look at brief film clips and discuss key themes. Join us for another lively trip into the fascinating, unsettling world that Hitchcock created on film.
