Hitchcock
“Behind every Psycho is a great woman.”
Following his great success with "North by Northwest," director Alfred Hitchcock makes a daring choice for his next project: an adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho." When the studio refuses to back the picture, Hitchcock decides to pay for it himself in exchange for a percentage of the profits. His wife, Alma Reville, has serious reservations about the film but supports him nonetheless. Still, the production strains the couple's marriage.
This film offers an intimate, tense look into the creative crucible of a master filmmaker and the marital strains his obsessive vision creates. It's a biographical drama steeped in the golden age of Hollywood, exploring the personal cost of artistic daring and the making of a legendary cinematic moment.
