Summary
We continue our journey through IMDb’s Top 250 Movies, and this week we talk about Vertigo! In this episode, we explore how Hitchcock’s use of camera techniques, especially the iconic ’vertigo effect,’ mirrors the protagonist’s descent into a world of twisted reality and unattainable desires. We also dive into the initial mixed reception, its eventual reevaluation as a cinematic masterpiece, and how it rose to become one of the most studied films of all time…but do we agree? All this and so much more!
