Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho: A Casebook collects some of the finest
essays on this groundbreaking film--a film that is ideal for
teaching the language of cinema and the ways in which strong
filmmakers can break Hollywood conventions. Psycho is a film that
can be used to present the structures of composition and cutting,
narrative and genre building, and point of view. The film is also a
highpoint of the horror genre and an instigator of all the slasher
films to come in its wake. The essays in the casebook cover all of
these elements and more. They also serve another purpose: presented
chronologically, they represent the changes in the methodologies of
film criticism, from the first journalist reviews and early
auteurist approaches, through current psychoanalytic and gender
criticism. Other selections include an analysis of Bernard
Hermann's score and its close relationship to Hitchcock's visual
construction; the famous Hitchcock interview by Francois Truffaut;
and an essay by Robert Kolker that, through the use of stills taken
directly from the film, closely reads its extraordinary cinematic
structure. Contributors include Robert Kolker, Stephen Rebello,
Bosley Crowther, Jean Douchet, Robin Wood, Raymond Durgnat, Royal
S. Brown, George Toles, Robert Samuels, and Linda Williams.
