Hitchcock, Hopper, and the Penultimate Moment

In this new video by Daniel Raim, production designer Robert F. Boyle uncovers how two great artists-Alfred Hitchcock and Edward Hopper-mastered the subtle art of suspense.

Nice. Also interesting to note is that the Bates Motel was inspired by Hopper's "House by the railroad".

DAMN, he was 90 here. And lived to be almost 101.

Dennis Hopper more than any other artist captures how night feels. I love seeing how art influences film. Certain artists like Hopper have work that is quite cinematic for something that’s so still. You feel like you could just step into the painting, just as you feel certain movies move beyond their own frame. North by Northwest is one of those movies, and Hopper is one of those painters.

Is North By Northwest coming back into the collection? I still have the Criterion laserdisc.

How did that bus-driver know that Cary Grant wasn't his new passenger? As he immediately closed the door after the man with the hat entered his bus....

the nod of the head from grant?

@@tammyr1489 That's not the reason, because - to undercut your reply to the question - this is an art film, not a a documentary about bus drivers: there's no invitation proffered to speculate about the bus-driver's thoughts; and more generally film-goers/watchers gradually construct a response to the sorts of invitation a film-maker is going to supply an 'answer' to - though even this is not quite right, because there is no longer anything anyone can do to increase our understanding of the bus driver's back-story - whereas we can increase our grasp of Thornhill (incidentally, a small but crucial point: it's not Cary Grant who's not what you call the new passenger.)
