Mesmerizing Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

VERTIGO is absolutely one of the very best films I've ever seen--a mesmerizing masterpiece about obsession that has the power to haunt its viewers for years to come. After seeing it, years later whole sequences will revive in the memory. Hitchcock also brilliantly explores the very nature of reality, and seems to ask the question, "Do we ever truly know anyone?" Kim Novak and James Stewart are both brilliant in the film.VERTIGO is also one of the most aesthetically beautiful movies ever made.
