Hi to Bill Harris. I'm intrigued by your reference to PSYCHO (and for
that matter to JUDGE ET ASSASSIN) here:
> The brighter among us would easily recognize the plot as OT biblical =
> Mumbo-Jumbo and regard Abraham is the nutcase he most likely was. =
> "Spiritual"? Murder for the sake of "spiritual rescue" indeed reminds me =
> of Hitchcock's Psycho, or perhaps Tavernier's Judge et Assassin.
Please, could you in a line or two formulate what you had in mind with
your reference to those two films, PSYCHO in particular?
Who is seeking 'spiritual rescue'? Norman Bates? Or perhaps the
viewer, who has seen the shower-murder invested with a 'blinding white
light' (which, according to Stephen Rebello's book on PSYCHO, Hitchcock
requested)? Maybe both of those?
Thanks in anticipation - Ken Mogg
