fear and desires

unknown
for such an “unromantic” man, Hitchcock was incredibly seductive in his work. iconic images abound in his films. will we ever look at cropdusters the same way? “Strangers on a Train”, written by Patricia Highsmith is something that has occurred to all of us and that’s the thing about him – everything he films has the creepiness we all fear and the desires we all have. his insistence on appearing as a guest in his films is quite clever – one rarely realizes he has passed by but somehow that profile with its cascading lips makes itself known and makes us shiver. the Poe of film!
ps enjoy a little creepingelm in your life.
