While the list of what Gervasi and screenwriter John J. McLaughlin exaggerated or fabricated in speculating about Hitch\u2019s mental state while financing and making <em>Psycho<\/em> is long, what they got right, such as using Hitch\u2019s style of playing with guilt, suspicion, and dark impulses, is more interesting. The results is a fascinating portrayal of a creative temperament struggling against the ravages of age and the business and financial pressures of making art.<\/p>\n<p>After the 1959 success of <em>North by<\/em> <em>Northwest<\/em>, Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville Hitchcock (Helen Mirren) live the high life of Hollywood fame, but the aging Hitchcock wants to make another film. When he chooses Robert Bloch&#8217;s novel Psycho, he encounters opposition because of the many dark elements blatantly apparent in Bloch\u2019s account of real life killer Ed Gein\u2019s (Michael Wincott) incest, murder, transvestitism, and human taxidermy. Consequently, Barney Balaban (Richard Portnow), the head of Paramount, refuses to finance Hitchcock\u2019s <em>Psycho,<\/em> forcing Hitch and Alma to put their house and savings on the line to make the picture. Everyone, except Hitch\u2019s agent Lew Wasserman (Michael Stuhlbarg), has substantial doubts about the commercial prospects of <em>Psycho<\/em> and about the cheap horror film salaciousness of the material.<\/p>\n<p>With so much on the line and the need to make the a commercially successful film by truly understanding the material, it seems no surprise that the stress brings out the worst of Hitch\u2019s demons \u2014 binge eating, drinking too much, fixating on his leading lady, jealously suspecting Alma of cheating, and delusionally chatting with Gein, who offers \u201cadvise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the truth of Hitch\u2019s mental state during this period is more speculative than substantiated fact, despite the film being based on Stephen Rebello\u2019s well-researched book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. What does work in Hitchcock is how the impulse control and the lack of it mirrors the development of <em>Psycho<\/em>, a film, like so many of Hitchcock\u2019s, which deal with people who dispense with impulse control. However, Gervasi was hamstrung in his account by not being able to use any footage or even to recreate shots from <em>Psycho <\/em>because of legal restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The desire to do what one wants is the core of the relationship between Alma and Hitch because each is dealing with aging and the desire to get a few more projects in before old age prevents them from following their bliss. While Hitch daydreams of his newest blonde star, Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson), he also imagines Alma and Whit are having an sexual affair, but maybe Hitch\u2019s jealousy is more about Alma sharing her creative talent than her body. Gervasi shows how entangled creative collaboration is with the romance of love and sexual desire, and Gervasi adds Alma and Hitch\u2019s jealous protection of their longtime creative collaboration to their financial stress of funding and making Psycho. For Alma and Hitch, there\u2019s more at stake than just love and marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The examination of the marriage is interesting because in the tense moments, Gervasi uses suspense-creating techniques that Hitch would have approved of.\u00a0 For example, after Hitch has drunk too much and had one to many creepy \u201cconversations\u201d with the imaginary Gein, Gervasi lets a moment of menace hang in the air of the Hitchcock\u2019s bedroom as Hitch towers over Alma. The best scene, however, is when Hitch waits in the theater lobby \u201cconducting\u201d the audience\u2019s response to the shower scene.<\/p>\n<p>He orchestrated <em>Psycho<\/em>, like his other films, to elicit squeals of fear and peals of nervous laughter, and, if he succeeded, if the audience likes the film, if Paramount is forced to open the film in more theaters, and if his inventive marketing plan works, he and Alma won\u2019t loose each other or their home.\u00a0 For artists, especially in the ever more costly business of filmmaking, creative success must be mingled with business savvy and supported by financial success, and <em>Hitchcock, <\/em>the film, points how the conflict between the two can bring about great art, such as Psycho.<\/p>\n<p>All the acting in the film is exceptional. Although Hopkins and Mirren are not physically like Hitch and Alma, they both capture the these dynamic people through their ability to project the emotions and personality of each.\u00a0 Hopkins emulation of Hitchcock\u2019s voice and inflection grows on the viewer.\u00a0 Johansson\u2019s Janet Leigh, Jessica Biel\u2019s Vera Miles, and James D&#8217;Arcy\u2019s Anthony Perkins are dead on portrayals of legends. Toni Collette is perfect as Peggy Robertson, Hitch\u2019s longtime and sometimes long suffering secretary, and Michael Stuhlbarg nails a young Lew Wasserman.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hitchcoc<\/em>k runs 98 minutes and is rated PG-13 for for some violent images, sexual content, and thematic material<em>. Hitchcock<\/em>, a Fox Searchlight release, is in theaters now.
