Vertigo

My godfather (Johnny Green not Marlon Brando) watched Vertigo every week on the same day till he died. There was something in the films infinite depth that meant no matter how many times he watched the same characters on screen reciting the same script over and over, he found something new every time. Now I know there have more essays, papers and books written about this film than I would ever bother to read, so I wont go into detail. All I'll say is there are cults about this film. People have died over this film. People were born because of this film. Watch it. I mean, hell, for I know you'll probably hate it. But the gist of what I'm trying to get across is that it really is that important.
