Hitchcock’s Psycho Re interpreted | HaightIn The Moment of Psycho, film critic and author David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock’s career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film: it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film—and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does.

David Thomson talks about his new book at The Booksmith on December 3rd at 7:30pm
