Abstract

There was an influence of American cinema, which I find very healthy, but very soon, instead of trying to bring into this existing cinematic structure what they could, they eliminated and betrayed their teacher-they tried to make films which were no longer genre films. In your book about Hitchcock, you spoke about the transfer of guilt and the reversal of roles, which are present in your films as well.
