Alfred Hitchcocks mästerverk med Athony Perkins i rollen som den sinnessjuke Norman Bates, vars gamla spöklika hus med tillhörande motell absolut inte är ett ställe där man har lust att tillbringa en stillsam kväll. Ingen vet det bättre än Janet Leigh, filmen ödesdigra hjältinna, som ger sitt liv i den legendariska duschscenen. Vera Miles, Martin Balsam, John Gavin och John McIntire medverkar i Hitchcocks mest berömda, skräckinjagade och uppskattade film någonsin. Manuskript av Joseph Stefano.
Berättelsen utspelar sig i 1970-talets USA, där vi följer psykopaten Jack genom fem incidenter som präglar hans utveckling som seriemördare. Filmen berättas ur Jacks perspektiv, där han betraktar varje mord som ett konstverk, samtidigt som hans dysfunktionella läggning ger honom problem med omvärlden.
Grotesquely surreal offering charting three male generations of the same bizarre family, including a pervert who constantly seeks for new kinds of satisfaction, an obese speed eater, and a passionate embalmer.
Tim är på väg upp i karriären på sitt företag, och har just fått sin första inbjudan till "middag för idioter", som varje månad arrangeras hos hans chef. Den av de inbjudna som tar med sig den största pajasen som sällskap vinner rätten att skryta om det (och kanske mer än så). Tims fästmö, Julie, tycker dock att idén är motbjudande och Tim går med på att skippa middagen. Men det är innan han träffat Barry, en anställd på skattemyndigheten som spenderar en stor del av sin fritid med att bygga genomarbetade utställningar av uppstoppade möss. Tim inser snabbt att han funnit en guldklimp till idiot. Han kan inte motstå att bjuda in Barry till middagen, vars stapplande goda intentioner försätter Tims liv i en hastigt nedåtgående spiral och ger uppbåd till en serie av komiska äventyr.

Paris interdit follows the pattern of the Italian mondo style documentaries which began in 1962 with MONDO CANE. The film jumps from one strange scenario to the next, including a woman who goes publicly nude on a bet, a family man wearing an anti-radiation suit in fear of the end of the world, a orgy-indulging cult with a kissing fetish, a role-reversal wedding of performing transvestites, a middle-aged man who gives striptease lessons to housewives, a self-absorbed loner who believes he’s a vampire, a ritualistic funeral procession involving the burning of a mannequin, a mass swimming pool baptism, etc. Probably the most fascinatingly grotesque bit, which at the same time is strangely touching, is when a woman has her beloved deceased medium sized dog stuffed by a pipe-smoking taxidermist (shown in graphic detail) and installed with an electronic barking device!
