The Lodger / A Story of the London Fog / UK / 1926
Alfred Hitchcock’s third film, his first thriller, his first “wrong man” film, and his first masterpiece. The film foreshadows so many elements of the director’s later work — blonde victims, domestic perversions, morbid slapstick — that one would imagine that it was made by a director far more settled in his ways. And while the dark shadow of German Expressionism looms large in every shot of the film, Hitchcock’s own material sensitivities to London’s working class give the film much of its enormous appeal. And if all this delicious, Hitchcockian fun with sex and death isn’t enough, there’s a nasty little hint of ambiguity in the ending.
