Psycho

Μυθοπλασία/Fiction, Η.Π.Α./USA, 1960, 109’, DCP Έγχρ./Color, Με ήχο/Sound

A woman steals 40 thousand dollars and takes cover in an isolated motel, run by a cranky young man, dominated by his dead mother’s personality. Hitchcock confesses: “I don’t care about the subject matter; I don’t care about acting; but I do care about the pieces of film and the photography and the sound track and all the technical ingredients that made the audience scream. I feel it’s tremendously satisfying for us to be able to use the cinematic art to achieve something of a mass emotion. And with Psycho we most definitely achieved this”. Despite what Hitchcock says, one should not oversee that the narrative of the film was traversed by major psychoanalytic theories.
