A study of Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 iconic horror movie The Birds in the BFI Film Classics series.
Camille Paglia is University Professor of Humanities & Media Studies at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, USA. She is the author of Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990).
The slim book is Paglia at her most discerning, precise, and
enjoyable.

Camille Pagilia remains one of the most intellectual and
challenging voices in academia and popular culture ... [S]he
elevates The Birds up to the position it often gets denied: As a
mid-career highlight of one of the world's greatest directors and a
piece worthy of critical and intellectual examination.
