VENICE CLASSICS - BEST DOCUMENTARY
by Alexandre O. Philippe

(2024, USA, 100')

On the fiftieth anniversary of its release, Alexandre O. Philippe’s documentary explores the profound impact and enduring influence of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on five major artists – Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama. The film delves into their earliest memories, sensory experiences, and childhood traumas. Philippe, already acclaimed for his documentaries on David Lynch, Alien, and Psycho, examines the slasher film that reshaped the genre’s conventions.
