l am studying Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" of 1960. A classic masterpiece in psychological crime thrillers of the cinema.
Film critic, Roger Ebert's summary of the film in a 1998 review said it all.
"What makes Psycho immortal, when so many films are already half-forgotten as we leave the theater, is that it connects directly with our fears: Our fears that we might impulsively commit a crime, our fears of the police, our fears of becoming the victim of a madman, and of course our fears of disappointing our mothers."
The biographical romantic drama, "Hitchcock" of 2012 by Sacha Gervasi, a film adaptation of Stephen Rebello's 1990 non-fiction book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" on the dramatic moments between Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville played by Academy Award winning actress, Dame Helen Mirren DBE during the making of "Psycho" in 1959 is also a masterpiece. And the subtlety of the acting genius of Academy Award winning actor, Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins CBE as
Hitchcock should have won him an Oscar for Best Actor. The most dramatic moment was the scene of Hitchcock in the lobby conducting to the soundtrack in the reaction of the audience during the gripping shower scene in "Psycho".

Sir Philip Anthony HopkinsCBE deserves the #Oscar for Best Actor for his astonishing leading role of "Anthony" in Florian Zeller's "The Father".
A classic psychopathethic drama on dementia.
The Synopsis:
Almost 80, mischievous, caustic, and defiantly living alone, Anthony rejects each and every hired caretaker that his daughter, Anne (Olivia Colman), lovingly introduces. Anne is desperate for help. She can’t make daily visits anymore, and Anthony’s grip on reality is unraveling. Given the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can he cling to? Anne grieves the loss of her father as he lives and breathes before her—but doesn’t she have the right to live her own life?
