With
the praise, respect and recognition Alfred Hitchcock
has received over time (and rightfully so) as the creator of endless lists of memorable classics and masterpieces you'd find it difficult to imagine that anything he made was overlooked. However, there are some of his films that have simply been forgotten despite being among his finest work. The Wrong Man, and Under Capricorn being most notable, but 1953's I Confess belongs among Hitchcock's most underseen/overlooked films. From a technical aspect, it's absolutely flawless and the work of a master. Through beautiful black-and-white cinematography (by Hitchcock favorite Robert Burks) the viewer is completely absorbed into the films norish atmosphere. While there are moments that may be heavy-handed or don't always work, the brilliance of the film's craftsmanship with each frame is wonderful to experience and analyze. Through religious beliefs and concepts, I Confess becomes an examination of guilt. The title suggests more then the confessions within the films murder, as each character is releasing their own guilt through varies forms or confession. Hitchcock has made better and more important or influential films, but few are as unfairly forgotten as I Confess. |
