78/52, GFT, 27 – 30 November, 2017

78/52 references the number of shots (78) and the number of cuts (52) in the shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic horror, Psycho. One entire week out of the four weeks scheduled to shoot Psycho was dedicated to the infamous scene. This fascinating documentary is an unprecedented look at the screen murder that profoundly changed the course of cinema, as director Alexandre O. Philippe explores the scene one shot at a time, enlisting the help of Guillermo del Toro, Bret Easton Ellis, Karyn Kusama, Eli Roth, Jamie Lee Curtis and Danny Elfman.
