Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980) was an English film director and producer.Often nicknamed "The Master of Suspense",
he pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres. After a successful career in British cinema in both silent films and
in early talkies, renowned as England's best director, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939 and became a US citizen in 1955.
Over a career spanning more than half a century, Hitchcock fashioned for himself a distinctive and recognisable directorial style.
He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in a form of voyeurism. He framed shots
to maximise anxiety, fear, or empathy, and used innovative film editing.
His stories often feature fugitives on the run from the law alongside "icy blonde" female characters. Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and
thrilling plots featuring depictions of violence, murder, and crime. Many of the mysteries, however, are used as decoys or "MacGuffins" that serve
the film's themes and the psychological examinations of the characters.
Hitchcock's films also borrow many themes from psychoanalysis and feature strong sexual overtones. Through his cameo appearances in his own films,
interviews, film trailers, and the television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents, he became a world cultural icon.
Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning 60 years Often regarded as the greatest British filmmaker, he came first in a 2007
poll of film critics, which said: "Unquestionably the greatest filmmaker to emerge from these islands (England), Hitchcock did more than any director to
shape modern cinema, which would be utterly different without him. His flair was for narrative, cruelly withholding crucial information (from his
characters and from us) and engaging the emotions of the audience like no one else."
Many film magazines have described him as the most influential filmmaker of all time, and he is widely regarded as one of cinema's most significant artists.
