希治閣──黃金時代：迷魂記、觸目驚心

被譽為希治閣的巔峰之作，《迷魂記》將心理懸疑驚慄的電影語言展現得近乎完美。患上暈眩症的退休探員受託跟蹤金髮美少婦，陷入連環迷魂陣。緊張大師把虛實與心理層次翻來轉去，幌子疑幻似真，觀眾被擺弄得死去活來，重看又重看仍引發新的感悟。2012年《視與聲》評選為史上最偉大電影之首，當之無愧。

《觸目驚心》短短45秒的一幕浴室殺人被稱為希治閣最毛骨悚然的場面，早已成為經典。直視自己性慾的女主角死於非命，帶出電影史上數一數二的變態角色Norman Bates。被害者及加害者就如同一枚硬幣的兩面，希治閣把觀眾拋入一個道德紊亂卻又無比現實的世界。

Alfred Hitchcock -- The American Years: VERTIGO and PSYCHO

Heralded as Hitchcock's finest film, VERTIGO is a masterpiece that defines the real meaning of suspense, deception and duplicity. An acrophobic detective investigates the mysterious activities of an old friend's wife, soon becoming obsessed with her and entangled in a complex plot. Audiences will still in thrall to its loops and perversities, and drawn into its intertwined enigmas, no matter how many times they see it. No. 1 in Sight & Sound‘s 2012 Greatest Films of All Time poll.

The shower scene in PSYCHO is acclaimed as a classic for transferring the menace from the screen into the mind of the audience. The chilling murder of a bad girl with a heart of gold brings out the most well-known psychopathic character, Norman Bates, in film history. This is one of the most audacious attempts in Hitchcock's long practice of leading and manipulating the audience. But well, sometimes we do enjoy being played.
