Alfred Hitchcock Retrospective
If you’re unlucky enough to be unacquainted with Mr Hitchcock and his fabulous realm, cheer up because GoMA and the Australian Cinémathèque are putting on an entirely all-encompassing retrospective and screening all of his 56 films and 17 television shows.
Overview
It is impossible to call yourself a movie buff without having seen at LEAST one Alfred Hitchcock movie, otherwise you’re just kidding yourself. His talent has far exceeded his lifetime and I’m 99.9% sure that every single one of you has either heard of one of his films, or been witness to something that was directly influenced by him.
For instance, the recent movie Disturbia, was based on Mr Hitchcock’s original feature Rear Window. Maybe you have a fear of birds but can’t work out why? Perhaps you subconsciously heard about the evil variety that exists in Mr Hitchcock’s world. Finally, and most importantly, the shower scene from Psycho still remains today as his most remembered work; a game changer for the horror genre and something that still gets re-enacted today.

As with all GoMA productions, there are always accompanying positives and in this case there are two outstanding offerings. The musicians-in-residence are being kind enough to accompany the silent movies every Sunday, creating highly special viewings. There will also be the Hitchcock Lounge erected every Friday night with drinks, supper and live music to set the scene for a Hitchcock night out. Full movie schedules are available on the GoMA website.
