Has Gus Van Sant gone Psycho? When the director of `Drugstore Cowboy' and `My Own Private Idaho' announced his shot-by-shot remake of the classic thriller, cinephiles screamed sellout; but it may be his most experimental film yet
Article Abstract:
Gus Van Sant decided to direct a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic movie thriller `Psycho' without any justification for taking on the challenge of copying a film masterpiece. He believes that a replica of a classic is capable of reflecting the director's influence on the style and impact of a film. Part of the dynamics and energy of the film evolve because there are various unknown factors that make this kind of project experimental for the director.
