Films

Hub pages. Each film gets one page that gathers its scenes, the concepts it demonstrates, its contexts and its sources.

• Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) Scorsese's studio women's picture: a widow, a kid, a road east, and an argument with every film Alice grew up watching.
• Psycho (1960) Hitchcock's cheap, fast, black-and-white shocker — the richest single text for teaching codes, conventions and contexts.
