Alfred Hitchcock is in the twilight of his career when he invites Mel Brooks, a director with slightly different taste, to discuss Mel’s idea for a new comedy. But it’s the picture that becomes High Anxiety, a satire of Hitchcock himself. Not a project The Master of Suspense finds helpful at this crossroads in his life. Loosely based on the meetings between two Hollywood legends, Pure Cinema explores their search for accountability, forgiveness, and tolerable hard boiled eggs.
