The spirit of Hitchcock
has just passed
and disappeared around the corner.
But in his absence he still commands the scene.
This is
not a still from a film, but a holiday snap taken in Spain by the great
Dutch filmmaker Johan van der Keuken. It was published on the last page
of the December/January 2000/2001 issue of the film journal Skrien,
where van der Keuken had a monthly film-picture essay column called 'From
the World of a Freelancer'. What makes it unforgettable is the caption
van der Keuken gave it: homage to a master of montage from another master
of montage. Van der Keuken died a month after the picture was published.
