A Film That Was Viewed Very Differently Over Time

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo,” released in 1958, received mixed reactions from film critics.

At the time of its original release, some critics gave the film low marks, citing its slow pace and overly complex plot.

Over time, however, attitudes toward the film changed completely.

In 2012, “Vertigo” took first place in the worldwide poll conducted by “Sight & Sound” magazine.

Today, the film is recognized as one of the most important works in the golden legacy of world cinema.
