Review of Vertigo (1958) by Sarfaraz A — 12 Sep 2012
Vertigo Directed by Alfred Hitchcock from the screenplay written by Alec Coppel and Samuel A. Taylor. Based on the novel D'entre les morts by Boileau-Narcejac. The screenplay was written by Alec Coppel and Samuel A. Taylor. James Stewart and Kim Novak star in this great psychological thriller film.
James Stewart's character seems to entice every next chapter in the film. Film bears remarkable direction from Alfred Hitchcock, the locations with crafty cinematography and lighting. Hitchcock brings more of his seriousness and dedication. Soon after the staged fall of Madeleine (Kim Novak), the story of film seems to run high above the sensation that it creates. Scottie's (James Stewart) obsession grows drastically.
Stewart's lip-lock kiss with Novak while set turns to horse-stable (location of Stewart's warmly exchanged smooch with Madeleine before she runs to her death) is most greatest scene in the history of cinema from my perspective-view. Vertigo comes with memorable music-score from Hitchcock's long-collaborator Bernard Hermann.
NOTE: Re-watched 7th time since 2007.
