Hitchcock (2012)
Directed by Sacha
Gervasi this film based on real events stars Anthony Hopkins, Helen
Mirren, Scarlett Johansson and Ton Collette. In 1959 the famous
director sets out to make his darkest and most disturbing film yet.
It is hard to say how
much of this film is fiction and fact as at times the script does
stray into speculation of the protagonists inner fantasies but in
general it seems to do a decent job of sticking to real events. What
is most interesting is the relationship between Hitchcock and his
wife which comes to dominate the film. Clearly what is most
impressive about the film is the performance of Hopkins and Mirren in
the lead roles as Hopkins in particular undergoes a real
transformation for the part.
4/5
