Vertigo

Vertigo is Hitchcock’s brilliantly schematic, endlessly fascinating masterpiece of obsession starring James Stewart as Scottie Ferguson, a detective who has been forced to retire because of a crippling pathological fear of heights and is tasked with surveilling his friend's suicidal wife (Kim Novak). The more he sees of her, however, the more infatuated he becomes, sending him down a dizzying path of obsession and desperation. From the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, Vertigo is a compelling tale of manipulation and madness.

The film was named in the 2012 Sight & Sound poll as the “greatest film of all time”, toppling Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane, which held the top spot for 60 years.
