"HITCHCOCK" is the film that shows us a little
about the life of one of Hollywood's more popular directors (or most even).
Without telling us much we didn't already know it still manages to be quite
entertaining.
Alfred Hitchcock, who can say they've never heard of him?
How many haven't seen a single one of his films? The master of suspense is back
on the big screen and this time he is on it for more than a moment. 'Anthony
Hopkins' (Silence of the lambs, Titus, etc.) provides life to the renowned film
director in this story that tells us what supposedly happen during the making
of his film 'PSYCHO'.
Even if watching a documentary style feature film of such
suspense masterpiece had been good enough for most, something would have still
been missing from it. This is where this film takes its strength- showing us the
personal life of Alfred and his wife, 'Alma', played by Helen Mirren (The
Queen) who did an amazing job with her roll. The couple's idiosyncrasies make
the movie quite interesting and easy to follow. In his efforts for making the
best horror film of all time, Hitchcock's own psychosis shows up on screen as
well and we are able to see what made him a different, gutsy and incredibly
creative director.
To some 'HITCHCOCK' won't be more than a movie that tried to
be original and failed. For others it can be a window that will allow them to
"spy" on a cinema icon while they learn to appreciate his films more
than ever (we include ourselves in this category of people).
