Best thing Scorsese's ever done.

Now I'm really in the mood to see "Vertigo" later today at the MMI, though I think The Key to Reserva more closely resembles the scene at the Royal Albert Hall in "The Man Who Knew Too Much."

Hi, here's some more info on the movie from JWT, the agency who collaborated with Scorsese.

Yeah, except your friend at www.jwt.com/thegoodstuff writes, "But the reference of the shots extends beyond film too - the final image of the crows belonging to the words of Edgar Allen Poe."

Yeah or perhaps it refers to Hitchcock's The Birds. How could you blow one of the most obvious references in the film?

The Utne Reader posted this about the Key to Reserva:

They call it a parody of Hitchcock, but it also breaks down more of the references.
