Title: Scorsese directs Hitchcock (No, seriously!)
Post by: Taufiq2u on December 17, 2007, 09:55:52 PM
Years ago, Hitchcock made a script for a champagne ad. It's called A Key to Reserva. Sadly, Hitchcock passed away and the ad was never made. Until now, Oscar award-winner Martin Scorsese successfully redone Hitchcock's vision. He's made a brilliant advertisement and a complex homage to Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Hermann.

" - But the trick is to preserve a film that has NOT been made. That's never been done."
" - That's never been done?"
" - No. Never been done."

Filled with Hitchcock References: North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rear Window, Notorious, Rope, Saboteur, The Birds.
.
Enjoy:

Whats so funny is that I haven't watched a lot of Hitchcock (I know, I know), but just how well Scorsese matched the typical 50s style cinematography unnerved me.  Though the bad guy's death was a little TOO vintage 50s cinematography.

I think I like Scorsese even more as a person than a director.  His passion and enthusiasm for film helps create great little pieces of film like this and along with some gorgeous Bernard Hermann score, I really enjoyed the whole thing.

Excellent pastiche.

And actually pretty good Cava too.

They're clever buggers at Frexinet, or at least at the ad agency that came up with this.
