Review of Vertigo (1958) by Brad S — 20 Sep 2015
- I have seen this film many times now, but this time was on the big screen with a Live orchestra which really made it a special occasion. The score is excellent and to hear it done live was a truly thrilling experience. This is one of the all-time great films!
- Really enjoyed watching this one again. The most recent "Sight & Sound" poll from 2012 had this as the #1 film of all-time, finally unseating "Citizen Kane", the poll is conducted once a year and it given serious credence. Part of the reason for the high opinion of the film is the technical accomplishments it achieved, particularly the classic dolly back/zoom shot. I also like both leads and think the score is excellent. This is a MUST for all film fans!
- I love this Hitchcock film the delves deep into the destructive nature of obsession. Jimmy Stewart is the perfect choice as you would never expect this from him. check it out!
