Synopsis

An unprecedented look at the iconic shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), the "man behind the curtain", and the screen murder that profoundly changed the course of world cinema.

Obsessive but accessible.

Too often, we’re left with an arguably less-than-great artist (Eli Roth? Mick Garris?) in talking head form, blandly praising Hitchcock’s work. 78/52 is at its best when the shower is running and we’re engaged with the making of this notorious murder scene.

As many note throughout the doc, the best moments that film as a medium has to offer are found in the smallest details. And when you find something truly great, as with this scene, you can just keep looking and looking until you spiral into the same void on which the grisly sequence ends.
