78/52

78/52 gives an unprecedented look at Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, and the title references the number of set-ups (78) and the number of cuts (52) in its iconic shower scene. Furthermore, one entire week out of the four weeks scheduled to shoot Psycho - a full quarter of the film's production schedule - was dedicated to the infamous shower scene.



Alexandre O. PHILIPPE

Throughout a body of work that includes 78/52, Memory - The Origins of Alien, Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on the Exorcist, The Taking, and Lynch/Oz, Alexandre O. Philippe has developed his own brand of "cinema essay", exploring the art of filmmaking and its practitioners.
