There’s nothing much to do talk about here as far as narrative is concerned so I will just stick to the production.Pyscho(2020) by Mysskin occured to me as a film that never really gave a fuck about its characters,mood and details for it to be about a Serial Killer…Also it seemed like Mysskin too didn’t care about his brilliant and dark world building which was his signature in most of his movies..
These things never really disappointed me but the music oh my god,I mean the score is brilliant but the usage of it made no sense..It was almost as if “ok we got a really good piece of music from Raja so let’s use it everywhere to an extent where audience really feel that the score was indeed amazing” thing throughout the run-time.I strongly believe that film music(not songs) and choice of instruments really acts a tool in moving the film forward.It takes a really versatile Music Composer to write and produce the kind of music that acts as an another form of storytelling.Wat surprised me the most is that of all people Raja choose not to be the decision maker on placements of scores and its duration.What a pity…
To put it in a nutshell Psycho (2020) is a pig lazy attempt that rely heavily on its photography but not on Cinematography, writing or for that matter any other technical or physical aspects of filmmaking…
