Based on the book by Christine Madrid French, this innovative exploration of film, architecture and culture is the first documentary to look at buildings, structures and environments as characters in films. Modern filmmakers build on Hitchcock’s foundation, renovating his inventiveness with a diverse, global lens. For example, films from Jordan Peele, Guillermo Del Toro, and Bong Joon-Ho open a treasure trove of possibilities to explore the rich cinematic worlds that have become fan favorites, all built on the foundation Hitchcock crafted.
