Vertigo of heights, vertigo of time, and vertigo of passion:

Vertigo is a masterclass in cinema produced in 1958 by Alfred Hitchcock. Using San Francisco and its bay as a backdrop, he captures with extraordinary mastery the dreamlike and tortuous love story between Kim Novak and James Stewart, exploring the torments of desire and guilt.
