Take a look at the illustrious career of film composer Bernard Herrmann, whose collaborations with some of cinema’s finest directors resulted in unforgettable scores for such classics as Citizen Kane, North by Northwest, Taxi Driver and Psycho. Joshua Waletzky’s fascinating documentary features interviews with Martin Scorsese and Claude Chabrol, as well as Herrmann’s heretofore unheard score for Alfred Hitchcock’s Torn Curtain.
The Bernard Herrmann centennial is the occasion for a two-week, 22-film retrospective.
