“One of the landmarks--not merely of movies, but of twentieth-century art.”
—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Initially received as a failure, this intensely personal, eternally haunting film was recently voted the Greatest Film of All Time in Sight & Sound’s decennial critics’ poll. A psychologically crippled San Francisco detective (Stewart) on the trail of a mysterious blonde (Novak) develops a passion for her that becomes hallucinatory, fetishistic, and necrophiliac. 35mm print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive. Please note: We are showing a rare IB Technicolor print of the 1958 release version, with the film’s original color and soundtrack, both of which were altered in the 1996 restoration that is now widely circulated.
