Review of Vertigo (1958) by Tim Robey for The Telegraph — 29 Jun 1997
Profound, penetrating and unfathomable rather than (quite) perfectly formed art. Vertigo pioneered that camera effect, known as the dolly zoom, whereby the viewer (the point of view is always Stewart’s) appears to fall into an infinite abyss while remaining quite still.
..The film itself is that abyss, and we’re still falling into it and for it.
