Hitchcock made some strange films but Rope is one of the very strangest. We tried to make sense of it in a conversation with David Runciman

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! Today is the 1st in our series of live eps recorded at the Regent St Cinema in London: David talks to crime writers Nicci Gerrard & Sean French (aka @niccifrench.bsky.social) about Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope (1948), based on Patrick Hamilton’s play. Find us at...🎧 ppfideas.com

It’s always a thrill. Our new book has arrived! Out in February

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

An utter masterpiece. It couldn’t be more different from our work, but it’s one of our great inspirations. It’s now on BBC iplayer and not to be missed!

What an extraordinary (and terrifying) statistic!

A child seems to have witnessed a murder. But there doesn't seem to be a victim. Puzzled? You can find out the truth on Kindle for less than a pound.

There’ll be lots of people queuing up to say nice things about Danny Thompson but for me it’s those double bass contributions on the life changing Spirit of Eden . Cheers Danny youtu.be/HSfGvuiFOWI?...

Excellent evening @regentstcinema.bsky.social for a screening of #Rope, followed by @ppfideas.bsky.social live podcast recording with #DavidRunciman and @niccifrench.bsky.social 👏

Rope is one of Hitchcock's weirdest, most disturbing works - which is saying something. We'll be talking about it with David Runciman for the @ppfideas.bsky.social podcast. www.regentstreetcinema.com/movie/ropeli...

🔔 First in our ‘Films of Ideas’ live recordings coming up next Friday. Join us, we’d love to see you there! ⬇️

Edge of Darkness

You can get The Memory Game, our very first book, for just 99p on Kindle. So old it has no mobile phones, no internet, no AI and the female protagonist smokes like a chimney. We're still rather proud of it, though.

A really illuminating piece

New post: "The Radicalisation Spiral" Why are so many people becoming radicalised? Is there any way to stop it? With an antivaxxer running the US health dept + extreme discourse dominating politics it's an increasingly pressing question. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...
