Review of Vertigo (1958) by Anders A — 04 Oct 2016
It starts off good, but once the whole mystery spectacle ends, we are left with James Stewart being crazily obsessed with Kim Novak. "Vertigo" might not be one of Hitchcock's masterpieces, but it is certainly one of his greatest efforts.
He deserves a high five for creating the "dolly zoom" effect when James Stewart was dangling on the edge of the roof. The story might be ridiculous for today's standards, but that's what's wrong with today's films: they're not as open minded or creative as they used to back then.
The ending was definitely a big twist, which superbly demonstrates Hitchcock's ability as a suspenseful storyteller.
