| In 78 setups and 52 cuts, the deliriously choreographed two-minute shower sequence in Psycho ripped apart cinema s definition of horror. With a shocking combination of exploitation and high art, Alfred Hitchcock upended his own acclaimed narrative structure by violentIy killing off a heroine a third of the way through his fiIm, without expIanation, justification, or higher purpose. Psycho played out Iike a horrific prank, forcing audiences to recognize that even the most banal domestic spaces were now fair game for unspeakable mayhem. With bIack-and-white film-geek reverence, director AIexandre O. Philippe breaks down this most notorious and essentiaI scene shot for shot, enlisting the help of film buffs and fiImmakers aIike - including GuilIermo del Toro, Bret Easton EIlis, Karyn Kusama, Eli Roth and Peter Bogdanovich. 78/52 examines Janet Leigh s terrified faciaI expressions and the bIink-and-you-miss-it camera work, not just within the context of the fiIm but also with an eye toward America s changing social mores - revealing how one bIoody, chaotic on-screen death kilIed off chaste cinema and eeriIy predicted a decade of unprecedented violence and upheaval. |
