We watched Hitchcock last night. It's more of a story about the making of Psycho than a biography.
I enjoyed it on that level. I didn't realize what a departure Psycho was from mainstream films of the late fifties. It was fascinating to see how wrong the studio was about the film's profitability, and the controversy about the flushing toilet.
Hitchcock as a person was an ass. I wasn't interested in watching him be a jerk to his wife, but Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren were both good.
Hitchcock was made in 2012. Ironically so was The Girl, detailing the making of The Birds. I haven't seen that film yet. Apparently, Hitchcock was more of an ass in that.
