Vertigo

Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. 1958, 128 mins. 35mm IB Technicolor print. With James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes. Recently deemed the greatest film of all time in the influential Sight & Sound critics’ poll, Hitchcock’s romantic melodrama is about a detective (Stewart) who rescues a woman (Novak) and remakes her in the image of the woman he loved. Fittingly, the film has a mirrorlike structure, its two parts bisected by a key plot revelation. Shown in an extremely rare collector’s IB Technicolor print, which keeps the original soundtrack and color beautifully intact.
