Big Picture: Vertigo (1958)
For July, Big Picture is proud to bring you a selection of films that highlight the prolific director Alfred Hitchcock. Something new is revealed when you stand his movies up next to each other. His favorite themes and motifs gain depth. His creative development and willingness to experiment is made obvious. You can feel his fussy, finicky control over every frame grow, then strain, then dissipate. The Academy may never have committed to the idea that Alfred Hitchcock was the best director, but he was certainly one of the most directors — his body of work over more than 50 features influenced contemporary film (for better or worse) as much as any other single individual in history. We believe Big Picture is the perfect place to explore all sorts of film connections, and profiling individual artists is a nexus of one sort of connection.
FILM SYNOPSIS: 2h 8m / PG / Tragedy, Mystery, Thriller
After a rooftop chase in which a fellow police officer falls to his death, San Francisco detective John “Scottie” Ferguson (James Stewart) retires out of frayed nerves, fear of heights and crippling vertigo. But when an old friend approaches him about his wife Madeleine (Kim Novak) and her increasingly bizarre behavior, Scottie agrees to tail her. And so begins the rare ascent into madness, as Scottie grows unhinged observing Madeleine as she appears to commit suicide then reappear as her own double, Judy. Who will get caught up in this web of manipulation and terror?
