Jens Wawrczeck: Psycho

In the organizer's words:

Audiences were enthusiastic, critics were divided, psychiatrists warned against seeing it - Psycho caused a sensation like no other Hitchcock film when it was released in cinemas. Today it is considered a work of the century that has had a significant influence on film history. The story is based on the novel of the same name by Robert Bloch, which convincingly tells the story of an inconspicuous but actually mentally ill and highly dangerous man.

Norman Bates is 40 years old and lives alone with his mother, who still calls him "boy" and has precise ideas about his life. In her opinion, he doesn't have the guts to lead his own. The Bates' run a motel where hardly any guests come. But one night, Mary Crane turns up at the door. She is on her way to see her fiancé Sam - with 40,000 dollars that she was supposed to take to the bank for her company. Norman serves her dinner and her mother is already in bed. When Mary takes a shower afterwards, disaster strikes: Mother has another one of her seizures ...

PRESS RATINGS:

He is a master of suspense, like Hitchcock.
(HR 2)

It's as quiet as a mouse in the auditorium ... Wawrczeck knows how to use language to create suspense ... and goosebumps.

(Hamburger Abendblatt)

A great performance. After just a few minutes, his voice, which adapts to extreme emotions, has enormous suggestive power, allowing the story to play out like a movie in the mind's eye. Hitchcock suspense!

(Badische Neueste Nachrichten)

A grippingly served story and a splendid performance. With his voice alone, Wawrczeck brings half a dozen characters to life more authentically than any ensemble of six ever could.

(Gießener Allgemeine)

Jens Wawrczeck reads sensationally ... Incredibly intense.

(NDR Kultur)

This is how you read a thriller!
