Vertigo Saul Bass film poster – 1958 – Style A Red

Vertigo Saul Bass film poster – 1958 – Style A Orange/Red It’s perhaps unthinkable today, but Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 psychological thriller, Vertigo, received a lukewarm reception upon its initial release. Starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, the film’s exploration of obsession, acrophobia, and the duality of human nature went over some heads. Thankfully, critical opinion has done a complete 180. Vertigo is now widely considered a masterpiece, consistently ranking high on lists of the greatest films ever made. In 2007, the American Film Institute placed Vertigo at number nine on its list of the greatest American movies. It even dethroned Citizen Kane as the top film in the 2012 British Film Institute Sight and Sound critics’ poll. This critical reevaluation cemented Vertigo’s status as a cinematic landmark. In 1989, the Library of Congress deemed the film “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and selected it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. A Collaboration of Titans: Hitchcock, Stewart, and Bass Vertigo’s brilliance extends beyond its captivating narrative. The film is a masterclass in visual storytelling, with Alfred Hitchcock’s masterful direction perfectly complemented by the iconic Saul Bass film poster. Bass, a legendary graphic designer, created a poster that is as recognizable today as the film itself. The Vertigo Saul Bass film poster is a work of art in its own right. Utilising a simple yet powerful spiral design, the poster perfectly captures the film’s themes of obsession, vertigo, and disorientation.
