One of Alfred Hitchcock’s first American films, this 1945 classic delves into the unconscious to uncover a crime. All the clues are locked in the memory of a profoundly disturbed amnesiac who may or may not be a murderer. But that doesn’t stop our determined psychoanalyst from risking her life and career to help the man she has come to love.
Kim Novak turns down the heat to become Hitchcock’s icy blonde, but she’s hot enough to melt Mr. Nice Guy, Jimmy Stewart, the ex-cop charged with watching over her. Rediscover why Hitchcock is the one everyone imitates as you are sucked into this vortex of lust, obsession, and longing in what some consider his finest film ever.
This film is Gothic with a capital G. A remote island prison for the criminally insane, its loony residents just slightly more alarming than the icily polite psychiatrist who runs the place. And then there’s the raging storm that shuts off the electricity and strands the two marshals there searching for a missing patient.
Modern air travel overflows with lurking dangers, but losing your daughter mid-flight usually doesn’t make the list. Impossibly, though, that is exactly what happens to Jodie Foster in the taut thriller.
This Korean mystery seems a Hitchcock/Coen Brothers hybrid, full of ironic twists and dark humor, eccentric characters and tortured relationships as it plumbs the depths of a mother’s relentless devotion to her mentally challenged son.
