Yesterday would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s 108th birthday, a fact that seemingly went virtually unreported in the U.S. entertainment media (I only stumbled upon the news this morning, via this post by Kim Morgan). As late celebration, I spent the morning watching Hitchcock-centric YouTube clips from Slovenian theorist Slavoj Zizek’s filmed lecture, The Pervert’s Guide to the Cinema. Above, watch Zizek explain why the killer in Psycho is an “unfatobable monster.” After the jump, Zizek moves into the fruit cellar.
