The movie

In collaboration with City of Neuchâtel. 
Birds start attacking people in this iconic thriller from the master of suspense. Reawaken your fear of the wild with this timeless masterpiece.

At a San Francisco pet store, Melanie Daniels meets Mitch Brenner, a lawyer who wants to gift a couple of lovebirds to his younger sister. Eager to seduce the charming attorney, the young woman delivers them to him herself at his Bodega Bay residence. Unfortunately, strange events start happening in the seaside town as birds suddenly attack people. With The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock made actress Tippi Hedren a star and delivers, in his own words, his most terrifying film. You will never see the neighbourhood birds the same way again.
