Bring Me the head of Alfred Hitchcock

About This Movie

So, 'Bring Me the Head of Alfred Hitchcock' is this fascinating documentary that meanders through memory and artistry. Lee Donaldson, the filmmaker, really digs deep into his dad's work – Antony Donaldson, an artist who's taken on this wild project of crafting a massive mask of Hitchcock out of solid steel. Yeah, 18 tonnes of it! It’s not just about the creation; it’s about their relationship, the legacy of Hitchcock, and how art reflects personal and collective history. The pacing's relaxed, almost contemplative, which gives you time to soak in the nuances of their conversations and the artistry involved. The practical effects in the mask itself are impressive, a real testament to craftsmanship, which I found quite moving.
