• 78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene | DVD | (11/12/2017) from £5.90   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In 78 setups and 52 cuts, the deliriously choreographed two-minute shower sequence in Psycho ripped apart cinema s definition of horror. With a shocking combination of exploitation and high art, Alfred Hitchcock upended his own acclaimed narrative structure by violently killing off a heroine a third of the way through his film, without explanation, justification, or higher purpose. Psycho played out like a horrific prank, forcing audiences to recognize that even the most banal domestic spaces were now fair game for unspeakable mayhem. With black-and-white film-geek reverence, director Alexandre O. Philippe breaks down this most notorious and essential scene shot for shot, enlisting the help of film buffs and filmmakers alike - including Guillermo del Toro, Bret Easton Ellis, Karyn Kusama, Eli Roth and Peter Bogdanovich. 78/52 examines Janet Leigh s terrified facial expressions and the blink-and-you-miss-it camera work, not just within the context of the film but also with an eye toward America s changing social mores - revealing how one bloody, chaotic on-screen death killed off chaste cinema and eerily predicted a decade of unprecedented violence and upheaval.

  |??r?li ng| noun inhabitants of the earthKlingon translation|bIQSIp 'ugh| ugly bags of mostly water Earthlings is a fascinating and often amusing documentary that explores the 'Trekkie' (aka: 'Trekker') phenomenon and Klingon language. Interviews of KLI members (Linguists Psychologists Star Trek fans and steadfast individualists) reveal the intellectual fraternal liberating and no-nonsense direct qualities they enjoy within the constructed-from-pop-culture Klingon language. From Louise Witty who becomes fascinated with the language from her interest in Star Trek boots (and then fabricates and sells them) to a Paintball King who shouts strategic military movements in the Klingon tongue Earthlings examines the interplay between culture and language communication and emotion and the rather delicate line between reality and fiction. As Star Trek comes around for its 40th anniversary this DVD could be the perfect companion to the classic sci-fi franchise.
