A slow, methodical spiral into obsession. Few movies are as thematically driven as this, and the technical mastery displayed across the board makes it incredibly effective. The shot of Kim Novak backlit by the green light is so powerfully symbolic. Scottie’s lust and obsession for Madeline quite literally makes him unable to see her right in front of her.
