A 91-minute analysis of the famous shower scene from Hitchcock's
'Psycho' and how it changed the course of cinema. The first of its
kind, a feature length documentary on one scene. The film gets its name
'78/52' from 52 shots in a 78 second sequence. It's very entertaining
and incredibly rich with goodies you never considered went into the
making of the famous scene. I loved the archival Hitchcock commentary
they recovered. Though, as I personally feel the movie horror scene has
drastically changed (you can decide for the better or for worse), to
have young horror film makers (of some damn awful films) and irrelevant
actors interviewed to share their thoughts in quite enthusiastic ways
suggests that Hitchcock's achievement is less pioneering than the film
makes it seem. That aside, I'm surprised they pulled it off, you can
tell the director (who is obviously a massive Hitchcock nerd) adores
the content and it really shows.
