vertigo

“I’d love to sit back and think about the autopsy and where you move from there, but I think I still feel as though I’m in that moment of vertigo to some extent.”

"My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock" showcases dozens of clips from Hitchcock’s films, ranging from his early silent features “The Farmer’s Wife,” “The Pleasure Garden” and “The Ring,” to mid-century classics like “Vertigo,” “Psycho” and “North by Northwest,” to his late-period films “Marnie,” “Torn Curtain” and “Family Plot.”

Some early silent films are redolent of “Vertigo.”

Then he had his interim period, then he got into the Freudian stuff, “Vertigo,” “Marnie,” “The Birds,” etc.

The silent films had some of the intensity of desire and the dreamlike quality that “Vertigo” has.
