Director Mark Cousins Chats New Doc 'My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock'

Film Festival Radio

“My Name is Alfred Hitchcock” is a documentary film directed by Mark Cousins that explores the vast and influential body of work of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. The film presents a unique narrative approach, imagining what it would be like if Hitchcock himself returned, in a fictional form, to discuss his films and themes directly with the audience. Instead of traditional interviews or narration, Cousins employs an innovative technique where actor Alistair McGowan impersonates Mr. Hitchcock’s voice. This creative choice allows for a more intimate experience as the faux-Hitchcock shares insights that resonate with the director’s known perspectives while also incorporating Cousins’ own analysis.
