THE GENIUS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Alfred Hitchcock is the most studied film director of the 20th century. Join Simon, who saw his first Hitchcock film (Rebecca, 1940) when he was 12, and has been a devoted fan ever since. Whether it’s Norman Bates being Psycho, a suspicious neighbour in Rear Window or birds behaving badly in The Birds, Simon will help you appreciate Hitchcock’s genius. Simon is an award-winning writer, both in NZ and the US and an avid film buff. He has twice won the LIANZ non-fiction book of the year award. His latest book, The Little Book of Spiders, was released in the US and UK in early April.
