How personal was Vertigo to Hitchcock? In terms of the director’s infamous control over his films, particularly on set, there may have have been a good deal of the director that went into the film.
I look at how that comes through in the cycles of Vertigo in this introduction I gave to the film in September 2025. This was as part of a screening during Picturehouse’s ‘Lynchspirations’ season at The Little Theatre in Bath, where the film was paired as one which inspired David Lynch’s Lost Highway. The audio in the video below was recorded specially based on the rough introduction that I had written before the screening.
You can see the layout of the North By Northwest crop duster scene that I mention in the introduction here.
