If the new biopic of Hitch leaves you cold head instead to the Desperado, which is showing a different Hitchcock film every day until April 9. There’ll be the great classics from the 1950s, of course: from ‘Strangers on a Train’ (1951) to the unmissable ‘Psycho’ (1960) via ‘Rear Window’ (1954’) ‘Vertigo’ (1958) and ‘North by Northwest’ (1959) – an incredible amount of quality films produced in just one decade. As well as these, expect some of the less well-known earlier films of this master of suspense, like ‘The Skin Game’ (1931) or ‘Number 17’ (1932). This classic selection will be screened in English with French subtitles, an excellent way to wait out the long final weeks until spring.
