Directed by Gus Van Sant • 1998 • United States
Starring Vince Vaughn, Anne Heche, Julianne Moore

An audacious, fascinatingly provocative experiment in adaptation and authorship, Gus Van Sant’s remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s horror classic is a virtually shot-for-shot reproduction of the original that invites viewers to consider the at once similar and divergent approaches of different artists to the same material. Here, Anne Heche stars as young office worker Marion Crane, who flees her old life with $400,000 in stolen money and hits the highway to California. On her way she stops at a quaint little motel for a good night’s sleep and a refreshing shower . . .
