Jack of all genres, veritable film activist and no-longer-directing director Steven Soderbergh put together his own version of the famous film Psycho.
Originally made by master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock in 1960 and then senselessly duplicated by Gus Van Sant nearly 40 years later (with actors Anne Heche, Vince Vaughn and Viggo Mortensen, among others), Soderbergh's version, entitled Psychos, is an intercut mash-up of sorts, featuring various parts of either film.
Soderbergh's rendition of the famous shower scene is a splendid form of cinematic dizziness, caused by layers of dissolved images of both films and both versions of the horrified Marion Crane.
Watch it and see for yourself.
