The Artists: Arts, Culture, and Cinema with Suchita Bhhatia

EP 163 HITCHCOCK & PURE CINEMA


Listen Later

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred HitchcockJean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese.

Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth.

He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMakerSight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.

🎬 This episode dives into:

  1. What truly defines Pure Cinema

  2. The dance between suspense, commerce, and artistic intent

  3. Inside Hitchcock’s mind—his process, precision, and preoccupations

  4. Vertigo

  5. The ever-important role of the audience

  6. 2001: A Space Odyssey

  7. And yes, we circle back to Scorsese—briefly, but brilliantly

A treat for cinephiles, filmmakers, and anyone curious about the grammar of great cinema.
