Film critic Walter Chaw has helped put on more than twenty series at the DPL; he works with Fresh City Life on about half a dozen each year, and thinks this batch of films stands up to the more well-known Hitchcock masterpieces while providing valuable context for fans of the director. All of his perversities, all of his strangeness with gender and sexuality and marriage all of those things are on display in Marnie in full bloom, says Chaw. Its just one of those masterpieces a lot of people dont want to see because its extremely uncomfortable. But wonderful.
