Listen "Episode 112 - Vertigo"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Movie Mistrial, we spiral into obsession, illusion, and psychological suspense as we explore Alfred Hitchcock’s enigmatic classic, Vertigo.Vertigo is a haunting, visually stunning meditation on identity, love, and control. With Bernard Herrmann’s iconic score, hypnotic cinematography, and James Stewart’s deeply layered performance, Hitchcock crafts a dreamlike thriller that continues to captivate—and disturb—audiences and critics alike. It's no surprise it frequently tops lists of the greatest films ever made.While revered by many, Vertigo's slow pacing, opaque characters, and unsettling themes of manipulation and male fantasy can be off-putting. Some viewers may find its ambiguity more frustrating than intriguing, and its treatment of female characters invites complex, modern criticism.Join us as we unravel the twists and turns of Vertigo—is it Hitchcock’s true masterpiece, or an overrated exercise in style over substance?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.
