More from the Press Release:

 

 

 

Born in London in 1899 and Jesuit educated, Alfred Hitchcock’s first

job was with an electrical company where art school training enabled

him to draw technical advertisements. He subsequently designed title

cards for silent films when he joined the fledgling industry in the

early ‘twenties.

 

 

Hitchcock rapidly acquired a thorough grounding in all aspects of

early film making, including writing, design and direction. From the

age of sixteen he had taken a serious interest in cinema and found

himself most influenced, both technically and visually by the early

masters of silent film; Griffiths, Murnau and Fritz Lang.

 

 

 

Alfred Hitchcock directed his first feature film, The Pleasure Garden

in Germany in 1925 and received immediate critical acclaim. By the age

of twenty-seven with several successes behind him he was regarded as

one of the mot promising young film directors in all Europe, with a

reputation for being a patient, polished, highly intelligent director

who showed more subtlety and imagination in his work than most of his

contemporaries.

 

 

 

THE RING (1927)

 

"One Round Jack" (Carl Brisson) is a circus sideshow boxer whose

streak of one-round knockouts ends when he faces a strapping Australian

boxer. The boxer (Ian Hunter) is actually the heavyweight boxing

champion and offers the defeated Brisson a sparring position. However,

Hunter's interest doesn't lie with Brisson but his finance/wife

(Lillian Hall Davis) which forces the two boxers to meet again in the

ring to win the woman's heart.

Ultimo filme do mestre que eu assisti :

162595.jpg

 

Grande filme, tem uma continuidade impressionante. Parece até que a gente está vendo em tempo real, feito com apenas 8 cortes e com uma montagem perfeita, ficou sensacional !

 

Dificilmente se encontra uma narrativa igual a esta no cinema !

Merece 5 estrelas com louvor ! 1010101010
