Obsession17

Alfred Hitchcock has always been and always will be one of the most outstanding directors in history. He created many great films. Although I like "Psychosis" the most, "Dizziness" is also an excellent picture James Stewart Paramount PicturesAlfred J. Hitchcock Productions As usually happens with Hitchcock, the film begins with a burst of tension (although in this case it is not an earthquake), The viewer gets to know the story of John "Scotty" Ferguson (played by James Stewart, whom many associate, among others, with the roles in "Sznura" and "Window to the yard"). He is a detective with anxiety of heights Due to this phobia, his partner died.After this event, "Scotty" resigns from working for the police. At the instigation of a friend (Tom Helmore), he accepts one more thing - he has to follow the beautiful Madeleine (Kim Novak), who seems to be possessed ... This is more or less the outline of the film's plot. Contrary to appearances, he does not talk about madeleine madness, but "Scotty".His obsession can really disturb him.Madness gradually overwhelms his mind while holding in suspense until the startling finale. Kim Novak Paramount PicturesAlfred J.Hitchcock Productions Acting here is at a really high (or even outstanding) level. The greatest attention of the viewer is drawn by the beautiful, boiling eroticism of Kim Novak in a double role.

She also showed her madness and suicide attempts. James Stewart also did a good job. His creation is a person slowly changing from an intelligent and determined detective into an obsessive madman.

The tension does not drop for a moment until it reaches its zenith. He is accompanied by the wonderful music of Bernard Herrmann.      Kim Novak Paramount PicturesAlfred J. Hitchcock Productions Unfortunately, the film is not without flaws - the biggest of them is a poorly made and extremely tight final (I will not betray him, not to spoil the pleasure of watching).It was supposed to be a surprising punch line, and something very disappointing happened - one might say - a mockery from the viewer. In addition, not very interesting supporting characters do not serve the overall image of the film too well. So despite the few sins committed by the writers and director of "Vertigo" this sensational and suspenseful spectacle has been remembered as one of the best crime stories and psychological films in history. Some foolishness is drowning in the ocean of advantages that this image holds ...
