Vertigo: The Fall Into Obsession
In this review, Alicia Bai explores Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo as a study of psychological destabilization through visual form. Focusing on camera techniques, lighting, and colour, she demonstrates how Hitchcock immerses viewers in the protagonist’s obsessive descent into madness. While acknowledging structural weaknesses in the film’s conclusion, Bai ultimately positions Vertigo as a defining work of cinematic art.
