Snubbed Forever: Kim Novak
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. 1958, 128 mins. U.S. DCP. With James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes. Voted the greatest film of all time in the 2012 Sight & Sound international critics poll, Hitchcock’s peerless psychological thriller follows a San Francisco private detective who comes out of retirement to trail an old schoolmate’s beautiful wife, who appears to be haunted by a figure from her ancestral past. Both an ingeniously plotted mystery and a profoundly disturbing tale of romantic obsession, Vertigo is an emotional experience like no other—an astonishment on the level of image, sound, and storytelling. Stewart’s rightfully acclaimed performance as a man who falls into spirals of psychosis is matched at every turn by Novak’s ethereal work as two different, yet equally tragic women: the inscrutable Madeleine and the earthy Judy.
