“Alfred Hitchcock recorded the agonized complexity of men’s relationship to women - a roiling mass of admiration, longing, neediness and desperation. Beautiful women are a fascinating conflation of nature and art. They often have an elusive, dreamy apartness, suggesting a remote inner realm to which a man can claim only momentary access.”
- Camille Paglia (who spoke with characteristic brilliance on Women & Magic in the films of Hitchcock at the British Film Institute)
