Lesley Brill

Lesley Brill’s The Hitchcock Romance—Love and Irony in Hitchcock’s Films is required reading for anyone who’s serious about Hitchcock studies. And, as the title implies, it’s a touchstone for our conference. In addition to his prolific writing on Hitchcock, Brill is Emeritus Professor of English and Film Studies at Wayne State University in Detroit, has published four books on filmmakers and cinema, and essays on film, photography, and literature. His most recent books are Crowds, Power, and Transformation in Cinema and The Ironic Filmmaking of Stephen Frears.
