Film Description

'The Birds Is Coming!' screeched the advance posters for one of Hitchcock's most complex, richly rewarding works. Technically a tour de force requiring some 370 trick shots and Bernard Herrmann's unique sound design (there is no music score), the deliberately slow pace of the opening scenes in the sleepy town of Bodega Bay thrillingly gives way to nature's attack on mankind in a series of brilliantly conceived and executed set pieces. The underlying theme of the breakdown in human communications is superbly visualised throughout.
