The Girl

"The Girl" is a provocative drama that delves into the obsessive relationship between director Alfred Hitchcock and his star actress, Tippi Hedren. The movie follows their collaboration on two films, "The Birds" and "Marnie," and how Hitchcock's fascination with Hedren's Nordic looks and icy demeanor turns into an unhealthy obsession. As the director's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and emotionally draining, Hedren finds herself trapped in a nightmare, struggling to maintain herown sanity while working with a man who refuses to respect her boundaries. Despite the success of their films, the toxic dynamic between Hitchcock and Hedren ultimately leads to a devastating fallout that leaves both their careers forever changed.
