Project Description
“My experience of collaborating in an untimely manner with Gus Van Sant was not
a happy one. Had he heeded my suggestions, he would not have tried to do a remake
of Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) in which he reproduced each frame of the original
largely in the manner of Hitchcock, but would instead have done a Psycho in the
manner of Sokurov. Since Van Sant did not heed my suggestions for his remake of
Psycho (1998), I did Mother and Son; or, That Obscure Object of Desire (Scenes from an Anamorphic Double Feature), 2006, in lieu of the failed untimely collaboration.”
