This book offers a new approach to film studies by showing how our
brains use our interpretations of various other films in order to
understand Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Borrowing from behavioral
psychology, cognitive science and philosophy, author Robert J.
Belton seeks to explain differences of critical opinion as
inevitable. The book begins by introducing the hermeneutic spiral,
a cognitive processing model that categorizes responses to
Vertigo's meaning, ranging from wide consensus to wild speculations
of critical "outliers." Belton then provides an overview of the
film, arguing that different interpreters literally see and attend
to different things. The fourth chapter builds on this conclusion,
arguing that because people see different things, one can force the
production of new meanings by deliberately drawing attention to
unusual comparisons. The latter chapters outline a number of such
comparisons-including avant-garde films and the works of Stanley
Kubrick and David Lynch-to shed new light on the meanings of
Vertigo.
