Frenzy

Alfred Hitchock - 1972
Moving back to Britain, it all gets a bit ditry.... shots of breasts, lacivious dialogue that is frankly a little unpleasant (I'm sure it's intended to be, but what about dedramatization?). Everyone is covered in sweat in dark and dingy locations. There is the element of the leer here.
Hitchcock of course gives the audience the information, dares us, nearly, to identify with a man we think is rather unpleasant, if 'innocent'.
