Once again, the complexity and brilliance of Hitchcock's filmic mind is made apparent, but this book does not shy away from discussing difficult and controversial issues with regard to our love for this 'master' of cinematic form."" * Anna Backman Rogers, Professor of Aesthetics, Culture, and Feminist Theory, University of Gothenburg, Sweden * ""Asserting the supremacy of the singular shot in Hitchcock's visual vocabulary, while offering plural takes on a spectrum of his films, One Shot Hitchcock is a prismatic view of film scholarship today. The volume makes room for historians and philosophers, emerging and established voices, proving that writing on Hitchcock remains a gold standard in the field."" * Patricia White, author of rebecca (BFI Film Classics) *" Author InformationLuke Robinson is Casual Academic at the School of the Arts and Media, University of New South Wales Sydney and University of Technology Sydney.
