Alfred Hitchcock and the cinema grew up together. Born in 1899,
four years after the first 'official' film showing in Paris,
Hitchcock demonstrated an early fascination with the new art of the
cinema. He entered the film industry in 1920, and by 1925, he had
directed his first feature-length film, " The Pleasure Garden." His
subsequent film career paralleled the phenomenal growth of the film
industry during the years 1925-1976, the year of his last film. In
the same way, Hitchcock's films are consonant with the
revolutionary theories in the fields of physics and cosmology that
were transforming the twentieth century, personified by the genius
of Albert Einstein.Philip Skerry's book applies the theories of
dark energy, entropy, black holes, and quantum mechanics to
Hitchcock's technological genius and camera aesthetics, helping to
explain the concept of 'pure cinema' and providing verification for
its remarkable power. Including interviews with influential
physicists, this study opens up new ways of analyzing Hitchcock's
art.
