Summary:
In this imaginative and scholarly book, Steven Jacobs explores the architectural elements of Alfred Hitchcock's films and the vital role they played in providing atmosphere and facilitating plot development. Hitchcock famously left nothing to chance, and from the Greenwich Village apartment that provided the set for Rear Window or the now-iconic Bates house in Psycho, every architectural entity plays a significant role both in setting the scene and in advancing the suspenseful narratives of which Hitchcock was master. Having worked as a set designer in the early 1920s, the director remained intimately involved with his films' sets throughout his entire career.

Summary:
La façon de concevoir l’espace et les déplacements ne se révèle pas uniquement en scrutant des plans et des cartes : cela exige de saisir l’imaginaire sous-jacent, la représentation de ce qu’est et devrait être la ville, la banlieue ou la campagne, les identités spatiales et l’appropriation de l’espace, dans leur dimension de mémoire et de projet. Les œuvres de création et en particulier le cinéma de fiction présentent un imaginaire, une vision de l’espace habité et habitable. L’imaginaire de l’espace dans le cinéma québécois est ici exploré dans un itinéraire partant des espaces habités (la ville, la banlieue et la campagne), pour aboutir aux espaces identitaires en passant par les espaces de déplacement et de circulation, la place publique et l’espace public.
