The Lone Star Film Society’s ArthouseFW and The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth will screen PSYCHO as part of its partnership series Scare Tactics: Six by Hitchcock. In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was already famous as the screen’s Master of Suspense (and perhaps the best-known film director in the world) when he released PSYCHO and forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in 1960), PSYCHO announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before. “Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece blends a brutal manipulation of audience identification and an incredibly dense, allusive visual style to create the most morally unsettling film ever made.” Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Screenings will be held in the Modern’s auditorium. Tickets are $9 for general admission, $8 for Modern members, $6 for LSFS and Modern Reel People members, and free for ArthouseFW passholders and students with a valid student ID. Attendees can also purchase an annual pass that will provide admittance to all screenings for the August season of ArthouseFW and beyond for $75. The Lone Star Film Society also offers a variety of membership plans that include the ArthouseFW Annual Pass. Tickets and passes are now on sale at lonestarfilmsociety.com and will be available for sale at The Modern two hours prior to showtime. |
