Eyes of Hitchcock from Criterion Collection on Vimeo.
If you’re craving all the expertly crafted suspense of an Alfred Hitchcock film but don’t have the time to watch all the twists and turns unfold, may we humbly suggest this Criterion Collection supercut entitled “Eyes of Hitchcock.” As the title suggests, the short video features a slew of ocular closeups, sparing all the background information and focusing on the visceral intensity of the moment. It’s a cinephile-on-the-go’s fantasy.
Watch above and see your favorite eyeballs from “Psycho,” “Vertigo,” and all the hits come to life in the haunting short above. And just think, as you’re watching them… they’re watching you.
