Review of Vertigo (1958) by Jamedris — 16 Apr 2019
I fully understand that it was a "shocking suspense" by the time it made it's way to the cinemas, but nowadays - in 2019 - it's not so great. Characters are a bit plain, the plot is slow and only partially interesting, but the worst thing is that zoom.
.. Of course, it was something new back in the day, new and interesting, but now it looks like Hitchcock is treating audience as stupid, like "look at this, it's important". It'd be bearable if it'd be done once or twice, but this movie is full of scenes like this, slowly zooming in and telling you to pay attention.
Okay, Mr H., I got that.
