Review of Vertigo (1958) by Edgar C — 17 Jun 2013
Hitchcock masterfully plays with our perception with a spectacularly clever and ahead-of-its-time noirish mind puzzle with top class performances by James Stewart as the man obsessed with the figure of a woman, and Kim Novak as the incarnation of a femme's fragility, yet overwhelming power over men because of our undeniable impulses. Vertigo transcends its genre in an unprecedented manner, challenging cinematic generations to come and establishing new psychological boundaries to be matched (if not surpassed) in cinema history.
Full review coming someday...
