Jones has laid enough of a foundation on Hitchcock's style that viewers can watch one of cinema's most famous moments with fresh eyes.

It brings the pages to life with clips and photos and the sound of the directors talking seriously and less seriously.

Pretension is always with us, but the documentary's main effect will surely be to make you want to see Hitchcock's films (including the marvel that is Marnie) all over again.

An engaging film.

Anytime you get smart and accomplished filmmakers talking about film, theory and their respective styles, the results are rewarding.
