Before Alfred Hitchcock rose to fame, German director Fritz Lang was considered  by many to be cinemäs pre-eminent master of suspense. Lang¿s thrillers  and crime epics had an abiding influence on Hitchcock¿s visual and narrative  storytelling, even as, years later, Hitchcock¿s films would in turn exert  their narrative and stylistic influence on the crime films and gothic melodramas  Lang made while in America. Significantly, both directors returned time  and again to themes of murder and guilty entrapment in the films they created.  This study considers the murder scene as the key to understanding the  contrasts between Hitchcock¿s and Lang¿s aesthetic, narrative and moral visions.  It focuses in particular on the ways in which both directors use architecture  and filmic space to communicate, in purely cinematic terms, a metaphysics  of murder. It concurrently examines the implications of the directors¿  spatial strategies on larger thematic issues such as guilt, identity, sexuality,  and the creation of suspense. The book is addressed primarily to students and  scholars of Hitchcock and Lang, classic cinema, film aesthetics, and the use of  architecture in film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783639417180\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang,  and the Art of Murder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783639417180","offer_id":39489812725853,"sku":"9783639417180","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f18097f2-c562-4df7-b3e9-acecca648d08.jpg?v=1774758513","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/fatal-spaces-von-ryan-mcbride","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
