About Vertigo (film) in brief
Vertigo is a 1958 American film noir psychological thriller film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. The story was based on the 1954 novel D’entre les morts by Boileau-Narcejac. The film was shot on location in San Francisco, California, and at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It is the first film to use the dolly zoom, an in-camera effect that distorts perspective to create disorientation, to convey Scottie’s acrophobia. Vertigo received mixed reviews upon initial release, but is now often cited as a classic Hitchcock film and one of the defining works of his career. It replaced Citizen Kane as the greatest film ever made in the 2012 British Film Institute’s Sight & Sound critics’ poll. It has appeared repeatedly in polls of the best films by the American Film Institute, including a 2007 ranking as the ninth-greatest American movie of all time. In 1989, Vertigo was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being \”culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\”. The film is now considered to be one of Hitchcock’s most famous works, along with The Godfather and The Great Gatsby. It was released in the U.S. on November 17, 1958. The movie is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and other formats for the first time in more than 60 years. The soundtrack for the film has been restored to its original 70 mm print and DTS soundtrack, with a new 70mm print of the film and a new DTS-DTS soundtrack.
