Psycho

Perhaps the “mother” of all Alfred Hitchcock movies, Psycho is one of the best-known classic thrillers from the master of suspense. After the opportunistic secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) escapes with $40,000 from her job, she stops at the wayward Bates Motel, whose owner Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is not all that he seems.

This Mother’s Day season at the JBFC, celebrate the unbreakable bond between mother and child with our suspenseful screenings of thrilling classics Psycho and Mother.

"What makes Psycho immortal, when so many films are already half-forgotten as we leave the theater, is that it connects directly with our fears: Our fears that we might impulsively commit a crime, our fears of the police, our fears of becoming the victim of a madman, and of course our fears of disappointing our mothers.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
