'Vertigo' is a more subtle surprise in the Hitchcock filmography. It's story is a twisting narrative, but not one that involves the usual murder or crime that we come to associate with the famous director's work. There's still an ample amount of mystery, suspense, and romance present, just not presented in the most expected way. I loved the story for the simple fact that it did feel fresh, even watching it now in a new century. I never knew where it was going to take me. The writing, directing, and acting are all impeccably captivating. Visually, I'd consider this Hitchcock's most memorable effort. This is top tier filmmaking that's undeniably entertaining and easy to get swept up into.
