A dialogue between Vertigo (1958) Alfred Hitchcock and La Captive (2000) Chantal Akerman.
“It’s also a story of obsession. Both films. I love Hitchcock because it’s mental, also abstract. There’s a touch of the abstract with Hitchcock. And I think in my film, too”. – Chantal Akerman. Vertigo is based on the novel “D’Entre Les Morts” by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narjejac & La Captive is an adaptation of “La Prisoniere” by Marcel Proust, fifth book of “In Search of Lost Time”.
