Vertigo (1958)

Posted on 09:16 by john cena
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Writers: Alec Coppel, Samuel Taylor, Pierre Boileau, Thomas Narcejac
Cinematographer: Robert Burks
Composer: Bernard Herrmann
Cast: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore

Hitchcock’s most acclaimed film, depicting a retired policeman’s journey into obsession as he becomes infatuated with the woman that he is hired to follow, is a dark, and at times, hard-to-watch film, which, with its stunning performance from Stewart, Herrmann’s wonderful score, and some appropriately ugly cinematography, manages to paint a scathingly brilliant portrait of the dark heart of man.
