can you imagine Hitchcock making something as innovative as “A Place Beyond The Pines” with it’s serial protagonists? Or some movie
with a structure like “Pulp Fiction”? Or even a stunt contained thriller like “Buried” or “Brake” where the whole movie takes place in *only* one very small location? Let alone make a movie that’s one continuous take like “Russian Ark”! No way he’d do something like “Memento” that moved backwards through time - starting at the beginning and moving to the end! How about a story like “Run, Lola, Run” where the same story is told more than once with a different outcome each time? And you can’t imagine him doing some sort of LSD influenced dream sequence thing! This is some old school fuddy duddy who was making films before anyone thought of doing wild experimental stuff like that! Well, the fact is, Hitchcock was the first one to do all of those things. A trail blazer who was constantly pushing the boundaries of cinema with his crazy experiments.
