    "Sex and Murder, Orgasm and Death" about the search for a murderous blonde serial killer in foggy London. The camera angles and light and shadow are expressionist (Hitchcock paid attention to the works of Murnau and Fritz Lang). Subtly suggest the sound (listening/screaming/broadcasting, etc.) multiple times. The mob is reminiscent of M (1931). The soundtrack to the DVD version to watch is pretty scary. Originally there was an ambiguous ending, but the actor was too handsome and popular, and...

    There are a lot of textual things. However, after the complex suspense was made into a silent film, it was really...

    The film that I borrowed from BFI with great pains, there are not many words in total, and the wrong translation is speechless~ Besides, the part with the strange soundtrack is the film that was supplemented, right? Can you find a retro...

    Young Hitch's imagination of love is still beautiful, the bold close-up, the imagination of pornography is also very frank, the prank of handcuffs and the indignant legs in the bathtub, although it is a silent film, it relies on the details of the sound to create an atmosphere of horror and suspicion The excellent film of the actor, the performance and demeanor of the actor are unforgettable, and it is really satisfying to watch it on the big...

    In Hitchcock's early works, the soundtrack was poor, and he knew how to use subtitles better than Murnau's "Sunrise" in the same year, and was more compact than Fritz Lang's similar film "M is the Killer" a few years later. Xi Pang played with expressionism (the lens on the transparent floor was like a magic touch), which was no less than the master of the silent film era, and established his personal film style (reversal and re-inversion), and the image of the masked killer was deeply rooted...

    Xi Pang seems to like to find gay actors to play those neurotic but actually a bit pitiful and cute murderers? However, it was clear that Ivor and his boyfriend had a lot of fun. They had been together for 35 years. Their house was called Redroofs, and his boyfriend was buried next to the house when he died. A drama school for teenagers was later built, where Kate Winslet attended as a...

    The earliest Hitchcock works started out as a murderer, and it was unlucky enough to meet a neurotic landlord. Expressionism similar to Dr. Caligari. The score of the restored version of the soundtrack is...

    The Landlady: Your toothbrush - you left it behind.

  • Joe Betts: Does this lodger of yours mean any harm to Daisy?

    The Landlady: Don't be silly, Joe. He's not that sort. Even if he's a bit queer, he's a gentleman.
