Director : Sacha Gervasi
Tagline : Behind every Psycho is a great woman.
Hitchcock is documentary in part of life of ace Director Alfred Hitchcock when he was making the cult classic ‘Psycho’. !
Hitchcock has always been known for his eccentrics and unusual style of movie making and marketing. Its no longer secret that while making Psycho, he was at his worst. His last movie ‘Vertigo’ had failed at box office and he was under immense pressure of giving a film which matches his reputation. Paramount which used to distribute Hitchcock’s film then refused to give money for movie so Hitchcock had to mortgage his house for money. Also, he had a troubled relationship with his wife who cud never shine in front of the talent like Hitchcock is also displayed quite maturely. The film is racy and gripping and helps even more if you have seen the original ‘Psycho’. The best about is the portrayal of hitchock by legend Anthony Hopkins. All I wud say that its hard to distinguish the character form the actor. Sure watch for all film buffs.
Rating :
*** & ½
