It's only fitting that my first post is about my all-time favorite movie, VERTIGO, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. I first saw VERTIGO when my best friend, Kassie, introduced me to it when we were in high school. We were in the middle of a Hitchcock-obsession (which I'm not sure will ever end for either of us) and she brought it over for us to watch. Immediately, I knew this would be something that had a long-lasting impression on me, and I was definitely right.
Visually, VERTIGO is stunning. As the title suggests, altitude and vertically composed imagery play a big part in the film and the image below proves how well-composed and interesting this film can be.
There's a dream sequence in the film that is unnerving, but really dark and whimsical. The image of Jimmy Stewart's saturated face still haunts and inspires me.
