Frenzy

(1972)

Don’t forget: Bob’s your uncle…

It’s Hitchcock’s penultimate film! Second-to-last! And first film in the wild 70s, an era where the R-rating became a thing, and a new frontier opened up in cinema that involved increasingly pushing the envelope of what was acceptable on film. To Hitch’s credit, he understood that. He could see that movies were changing, and he pitched in with his own evenlope-pushing story of a serial rapist-murderer loose in the Covent Garden area of London. We watch and discuss!
