voyage to mars

I'm seeing Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo in 70mm in about an hour and a half. Vertigo is - in my opinion - Hitchcock's best film and though I've seen it a dozen times before, I'm still excited.

Bernard Herrmann's classic soundtrack; the cinematography, portraying a wonderfully eerie San Francisco; the acting - James Stewart has never been better, playing against type - and the tangible chemistry between Stewart and Kim Novak; the plot, the script...the direction, of course. Hitchcock wasn't the most consistent director in the world, but when he was at the top of his game - Vertigo, Rear Window, Psycho, Rope, North by Northwest, The Birds - he was unbeatable. ¶ 17:37
