1. Psychosis-1960.
Hitchcock builds a plot whose intention seems to be hidden behind the bland story of the real estate employee who dies after having fled to avoid being caught stealing money from a collection. The narrative innovations of the master of suspense create an unrepeatable and memorable piece, due to his unconventional techniques that take over every angle of the story, generating a terrifying atmosphere that not only belongs to the film but also to the intentional connection game. with the fears of the spectators, which makes it one of the most influential films in history. In our opinion, the best of Hitchcock's films.
2. Rear Window-1954
“The rear window” is considered another of the director's masterpieces, which is not surprising since on this occasion his scathing narrative sticks to telling a story between a grandiose diegetic and a sequence of very well-achieved shots. The actions commune with the space and release in complicity with the filmmaker, the actors, and the viewer, resulting in a film in which everyone is part of the voyeuristic morbidity of an injured photographer who crosses a love story with another suspense after deciding to spy on your neighbors by feeling completely bored.
3. Vertigo-1958
Hitchcock's skill with the camera will shine like never before in this sensational film in which he uses the novel "Back from the Dead" by Boileau and Narcejac, to recreate a psychoanalytic story steeped in erotic fantasies, suspicion, fetishes, intrigues, and phobias. and personal affiliations. This is how he challenges his cinematographic style, immersing the viewer in the dense episode that is generated from the relationship between a police detective with acrophobia and a sensual and dark woman who has been commissioned to watch over the pulse of history. it spins in an obsessive spiral from a hallucinating dramatic crescendo.
4. The Man who knew too much-1934
The filmmaker will film this story twice, the first in 1934, made in Great Britain, and the remake in 1956, shot in the United States; In both Hitchcock films, Sir Alfred uses the resources of his refined technique to take into account the situations that a married couple whose son has been kidnapped is going through, they are blackmailed with his death in case they reveal revealing information that they have recently received of a murdered friend. The director narrows the relationship between quality and commerciality to deliver a fantastic espionage story with a fast pace from a great suspense construction.
5. Frenzy-1972
Based on the novel titled “Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square”, by Arthur La Bern, a nihilist Alfred Hitchcock returns to England redirecting the suspense to immerse us in uneasy situations entrenched in a corruptly described London, the tracking shot of the megalopolis runs through an icy atmosphere where violence and humor are combined, in perfect balance, from the story of a common subject who has been framed and caught for the acts that a shrewd psychopath who hides behind the appearance of a mild salesman is committing. The crimes of overflowing violence against women reveal memorable brutal scenes from Hitchkonean cinema.
