"Hitchcock pioneered a whole type of film grammar. He taught us how to express things as clearly, visually, I think as they can be expressed...Learning how to use that grammar, I've very much tried to look through his eye, and now have sort of evolved a grammar of my own. But if you want to know anything about cinematic storytelling, he's it." -Brian de Palma
This month the Music Box Theater is hosting "Hitchcock and Friends", a series 5 films by Alfred Hitchocok and his cohorts. Films include: Charade by Stanley Donen, Blow Out by Brian de Palma, The Game by David Fincher, Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese, Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock.
