A newcomer of the blue screen Sacha Gervasi movie was made
according to the Stephen Rebel book’s – Alfred Hitchcock and “Psycho”. It’s not
just another movie about a director or how any movie is made. The name itself
gives away and introduces us to the one of the greatest directors of all time.
The story show’s how relationship between the master of suspense and his wife
was developed during the movie making and what party did she took in his life
and production. The movie takes us to
the point when one of the most ambitious and shocking movies of Alfred
Hitchcock was made. 1960 was the year when the great director shocked the world
with one of his most famous movies now – Psycho.
Sacha Gervasi a new name to the big screen, not experienced working with such big names as Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren or Scarlett Johansson did quite a good job, thought the movie itself is not that rich visually. Thought the director bases his movie around some of the techniques that Alfred Hitchcock used to use itself. Well-known humorous scenes and the simplicity of television genres were noticeable from the beginning. The movie starts and ends with music furthermore you could definitely see the familiarity when Alfred Hitchcock just stands there with the cup of tea on the shot, the same technique as Hitch used to present and end his own series.
The movie itself just simply tells the facts and shows the most important aspects of the character – Alfred Hitchcock life and creative process: suspense, black humor, and irony. In my opinion the strength of this movie is how it conveys the 1959’s. The costumes, style, and looks this implies why the movie was nominated for an Oscar in the category of Make up & hairstyling. Just because of this you could see how the actors looked and experienced in the late 50’s.
