In his illuminating study of Psycho, Raymond Durgnat provided a minute analysis of its unfolding narrative, enabling us to consider what happens to the viewer as he or she watches the film, and to think afresh about questions of spectatorship, Hollywood narrative codes, psycho-analysis, editing and shot composition. In his introduction to this edition, Henry K. Miller presents A Long Hard Look at 'Psycho' as the culmination of Durgnat's decades-long campaign to correct what he called film studies 'Grand Error'.

Durgnat, Raymond: - RAYMOND DURGNAT (1932-2002) was the author of many groundbreaking books about the cinema, among them Films and Feelings (1967), Sexual Alienation in the Cinema (1972), The Strange Case of Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir (both 1974), a study of WR: Mysteries of the Organism (1999) in the BFI Film Classics series, and 'A Mirror for England' (2010) and A Long Hard Look at Psycho (2011) both republished in the BFI Silver series.

Miller, Henry K.: - Henry K. Miller is a regular contributor to Sight and Sound and has written for Film Comment, Cinema Scope, Cineaste, and the Guardian. He teaches at Anglia Ruskin University and supervises undergraduates on the Literature and Visual Culture paper for the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge, UK. He is also an Honorary Research Associate at the Slade School of Fine Art.
