My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock

My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock (2023) is a British documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Mark Cousins, narrated through Hitchcock's own words voiced by Alistair McGowan.

A century after his 1922 debut, every Hitchcock frame has been catalogued, quoted and copied by admirers. Cousins — the Northern Irish cinephile behind The Story of Film: An Odyssey — found a different entry point. He lets Hitchcock speak. McGowan voices the director using material drawn from interviews, letters and public speeches. The film never asks how Hitchcock built his pictures. It asks why desire, fear and mystery became the architecture of everything he made.

The result is less biography than dialogue across time. Hitchcock in this film is not the plaque-on-the-wall master but a working artist with genuine anxieties and a dry wit, talking about craft and obsession as if the camera caught him mid-thought. Watch My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock online on iFILM.
