Beschreibung
Released in 1958, Vertigo is widely regarded as Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time. This is the first book devoted to exploring the philosophical aspects of Vertigo. Following an introduction by the editor that places the film in context, each chapter reflects upon Hitchcock's film from a philosophical perspective. Topics discussed include:

memory, loss, memorialisation, and creativity

mimetic or representational art and art as magic

the nature of romantic love

gender, sexual objectification, and identity

looking, "the gaze", and voyeurism

film and psychoanalysis

fantasy, illusion, and reality

the phenomenology of colour.

Including annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in Vertigo, and an ideal resource for students of film and philosophy.
