In this book, Camille Paglia offers an in-depth analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's film 'The Birds.' Paglia examines the choreography, body language, and facial expressions of the film from a feminist perspective, highlighting the mystique of nature and femininity embodied in the character of Tippi Hedren. The author laments the current critical relationship with Hitchcock's work, whom she considers a surrealist genius and one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
