Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2020)

I must say, I watched this gem when I was 14 and I confess I didn't get its greatness back then. Now, that I have studied the laws and principles of film, this is much more impressive and really got to me.
This is a classic for a REASON, not just because "it is". In my case, the colors used in this film made all the difference, because the codes are EVERYWHERE. There went so much thought into the film, in every scene, minute, second. The green of the ladies car, the red of the seductive restaurant and her lips, the yellow of Midge Woods office and clothing... you name it. Every emotion has it's color.
The images are super dreamlike, a floating camera, well blocked actors and well - the whole film feels like a dream, a dizzy one... just like it's name: the fear of hights and the dizziness you get from staring into the abyss. I was GLUED to the screen like ALL the time, which does NOT happen all the time. Each image, every frame was so intriguing, from the actors to the sound to the compositions.
It really got to me and many images stay with me long after. This is - for reasons! - a masterpiece.
