    I always find it interesting watching one of those old classic Hollywood actors showing up in a movie to play against type. Jimmy Stewart was good at playing goodie-good types, and then you see him in Vertigo and he's a total creep driven mad by obsession. It's fantastic.

    Kudos to the Venice Film Festival for recognizing Kim Novak as "one of the most beloved icons of an entire era of Hollywood films." The 92 year old will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement — and a new documentary on her work in VERTIGO (1958) will premiere at the Festival. #FilmSky

    Cinema is Expressionism. Much is made of Jaws’ Vertigo shot, but this moment more subtly illustrates film’s expressionistic tendencies. With each cut, Spielberg and editor Verna Fields cut to successive close-ups of Brody, integrating his internal anxieties and focus in the form of the film itself.

    Sometimes people talking in movie theaters rules. I saw Vertigo for the first time today and there was a woman sitting next to me who was like in her 60s I think who kept making little barely audible asides to herself about the film and they were all incredibly funny and not distracting.

    SPECIAL EFFECTS (1984) is Larry Cohen's VERTIGO, which is to say that it's masterpiece-adjacent, a sleazy, grindhouse exploitation flick that is home to some deeply disquieting ideas about object choice and male sexual jealousy. Schrader + William Lustig in a DePalma film starring Eric Bogosian.

    I can’t say I ‘like’ Vertigo either but it’s a brilliant movie about how men want to control women and reshape them according to their own desires. Unsurprisingly, Hitchcock’s most nakedly autobiographical work.

    Snippets from an interview with Alfred Hitchcock in the January, 1963 issue of Movie. The interviewer spots an early clue in Psycho to Norman Bates’ secret. Hitchcock already anticipating that movies should be watched repeatedly! And how he’d been trying to do the ‘Vertigo zoom’ since Rebecca!

    Chris Marker. La Jetée. 1962. One of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images. The inspiration for the Terry Gilliam film 12 Monkeys, and in itself influenced by Hitchcock’s Vertigo. I loved screening these.
