In the world of Alfred
Hitchcock’s movies, chaos, danger and sinister evil hide in the shadows of his
characters’ ordinary lives. But what about Hitchcock’s own everyday
life? The consummately skilled director carefully cultivated a public
persona – constructed out of his portly silhouette and macabre wit – that
managed to keep his inner psyche tightly under wraps. But for decades the
question has lingered: might there be a way to get inside Hitchcock not as
an icon but as a person?
Now, for the first time, filmmaker Sacha Gervasi’s “HITCHCOCK” lays bare a
captivating and complex love story. It does so through the sly, shadowy
lens of their most daring filmmaking adventure: the making of the
spine-tingling 1960 thriller, “Psycho,” which would become the director’s most
controversial and legendary film. When the tumultuous, against-the-odds
production was over, nothing about movies would ever be the same – but few
realized that it took two to pull it off.
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Tony
Collette, Tony Huston and James D’Arcy.
