Well, everyone knows Hitchcock died in 1980. What this movie presupposes is... maybe he didn’t. A little Royal Tenenbaums humour for the movie nerds in the back. Mark Cousins—he of The Story of Film: An Odyssey fame—is back once again with a thoughtful piece of…
Ian CurranMar 28, 2026Few directors can claim such a legacy as Alfred Hitchcock. He is a genre unto himself. People seek out his films for many reasons. One of those is because they all have his identity behind him. His unique vision ensures that if anyone else had directed them, they would be…
Cinema_SnobbFeb 8, 2026Неплохая короткометражка о творчестве великого Альферда Хичкока, сильнее погружающая в его фильмографию. Очень неожиданно было наткнутся на неё ночью на Первом канале.

Big fan of Mark Cousins' previous doco series "The Story of Film" so thought id give this one a go. Two hour deep dive into Hitch's entire catalogue of films, and I'm pretty sure every single film is touched upon, some more than others obviously. But its very thorough, and…
JeremyOct 23, 2024Proper review to come, but I basically detested this; any pedagogical value inherent in watching many, many clips from Hitch’s films is undermined by Cousin’s insipid writing and one of the most boneheaded organizing conceits ever encountered - a Hitch impersonator…
Daniel GormanFeb 23, 2023Glasgow Film Festival 2023 #1 Somewhat unique but limiting for a documentary; My Name is Alfred Hitchcock, the opener to Glasgow Film Festival 2023, fires up the film by introducing us to Hitchcock through his own voice, narrated by Alistair McGowan in a form of a visual…

alch_bassAug 6, 2023A very entertaining two-hour Film Studies module on Hitchcock, narrated by the Master and voiced with astonishing accuracy by Alastair McGowan (my friend's next-door neighbour fwiw). Almost every film in Hitch's oeuvre gets at least a clip or two, making it an utter visual…
FintFeb 21, 2025If you get past the extraordinarily goofy conceit there is some real nice film analysis going on, which is sadly rare in films about films. I prefer this corniness to a talking heads doc. As always Cousins’ passion shines through. I do feel like it circles back on itself…

Well, point-by-point, clip-by-clip, this film remains brilliant. As ever, there is real evangelism in Cousins’s work and in My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock there is so much to learn and enjoy. You come away from it with your senses fine-tuned.

As “Hitchcock” notes, his movies have been analyzed every which way and back again. Cousins’ fresh approach divides the work into six sections, an elegant capsule melding existential questions with the practical challenges and opportunities of big-screen storytelling.

With My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock, Cousins powerfully makes the case that there’s nothing better than cinema itself for elevating a lie into art.
