Meet the Fifth WorldFilmGeek Hall of Fame

Now I've only seen one of Richard Shepard's films – a documentary on John Cazale – so I'm not in a position to say how good or bad he is, but I probably would have liked this more if it was made by a film geek that never got past making amateur films. Seeing this masterpiece at an impressionable age set Shepard on the path to becoming a filmmaker (The Linguini Incident, The Matador, The Hunting Party, Dom Hemingway, I Knew… We may have come to our interest in or obsession with movies from a different direction or in a different era, but we can all identify with Shepard’s experiences in some way. The premise being that the movies are our life. I had similar feelings when I read Quentin’s book Cinema Speculation… Both tell very specific stories of growing up using almost exclusively the movies of our generation. But maybe all film nerds have the same origin story.

It celebrates one of the greatest movies ever made by recognizing that “Psycho” became a pop object (it’s amazing that Warhol never silk-screened it). The film’s spectacular joke is that it played with all that 19th-century horror imagery (the Victorian house on the hill, the demon at large), only the monster was now us. Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, who made the elegant and searching “Doc of the Dead,” “78/52” centers on an up-close analysis of the shower scene that’s at once delirious and definitive; the movie is also a cinematic meditation that features a wealth of terrific anecdotes about the creation of Hitchcock’s masterpiece. (I would argue that the only other movie since World War II that has attained that quality is “The Godfather.”) The special, ghoulish trap-door chic of “Psycho,” and the reason the film never gets old, is that it’s a movie we now compulsively watch ourselves watching.

With an estimated budget of $325–400 million, the film is one of the most expensive films ever made. Additional filming took place in Scotland, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City. Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, with a large cast consisting mostly of actors reprising their roles from previous MCU films, including Brolin as Thanos.
