After posting Hitchcock earlier today, in comes a new international trailer and featurette for the film, which you may feel the need to watch or not. Either way I’m presenting them here as I think it’s a film a lot of you will enjoy watching and if a little additional nudge is necessary then by all means I will provide it.
The three-minute featurette takes a look at the narrative structure of the relationship between Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) and the trailer, well, it’s a trailer.
To add to it all, here is the opening paragraph from my review, which you can read right here in full:
A competent cast and amusing direction brings us a snapshot of what it may have been like to spend a small amount of time with the “Master of Suspense”, Alfred Hitchcock, over the course of the months before, during and after the making of one of the most popular horror films of all-time, Psycho. Based on Stephen Rebello’s 1998 non-fiction book “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho,” director Sacha Gervasi’s Hitchcock is both heartfelt and darkly comedic as it explores Hithcock’s relationship with his wife Alma Reville (Helen Mirren), obsessive behavior with his blonde leading ladies and hunger to captivate his audience. A tight narrative and solid performances make Hitchcock a film worthy of watching even if it won’t bowl you over.
Now here are those two videos.
