Vertigo
Dir: Alfred Hitchcock
USA, 1958, 128minmins, DCP
Cast: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes
Considered to be Hitchcock’s most personal film, Vertigo is also his darkest. James Stewart is a San Francisco detective romantically obsessed with a beautiful and mysterious young woman – the wife of an old friend – whom he has been asked to follow. Her eventual suicide leaves him devastated and distraught, until he meets a shop girl who bears a striking resemblance to the dead woman. At the time of its release in 1958, Vertigo failed to reach the heights of popularity enjoyed by his other films but is now considered a masterpiece that defines the real meaning of suspense, deception and duplicity.
