English Summary:
Hitchcock is a 2012 American biographical drama film directed by Sacha Gervasi, based on Stephen Rebello's non-fiction book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The film was released in selected cities on November 23, 2012, with a worldwide release on December 14, 2012.
n 1959, Alfred Hitchcock opens his latest film, North by Northwest, to both critical and commercial success, but is troubled by a reporter's insinuation that he should retire. Seeking to reclaim the artistic daring of his youth, Hitchcock turns down film proposals, including Casino Royale and The Diary of Anne Frank, in favor of a horror novel called Psycho by Robert Bloch, based on the real-life crimes of murderer Ed Gein. Gein appears in sequences throughout the film, in which he seems to prompt Hitchcock's imagination regarding the Psycho story, or act as some function of Hitchcock's subconscious mind (for instance, drawing Hitchcock's attention to sand on his bathroom floor, the quantity of which reveals how much time his wife Alma has been spending at the beachhouse with Whitfield Cook).
Hungarian Summary:
A film egy szerelmi történet a 20. század egyik legjelentősebb rendezője, Alfred Hitchcock és felesége, Alma Reville között, akik 1959-ben épp a Pszicho című film forgatására készülnek. Mivel a filmstúdióknak nem tetszett a szokatlan ijesztgetős jelenetektől, a film elkészítésének finanszírozását Hitchcock-nak saját pénzből kellett megoldania.
Az Oscar(r)-díjas Anthony Hopkins és Helen Mirren* lenyűgöző alakítást nyújt ebben az izgalmas, magával ragadó és mulatságos történetben, amely minden idők egyik legismertebb filmjének megszületéséről szól.
A végtelen egóval és rendíthetetlen magabiztossággal megvert-megáldott rendező, Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) egy rettenetes sorozatgyilkosság megszállottjává válik. Filmet szeretne készíteni belőle, ám a stúdiók visszariadnak a borzasztó történettől, és nem segítenek. A végsőkig eltökélt mester azonban hírnevét, otthonát, sőt még felesége, Alma (Mirren) szerelmét is kockára teszi a szent cél: a Psycho érdekében.
