Eyewear 's favourite film has been Vertigo for some time ( see my post from four years ago ). How could it not be? The fetishism, scopophilia, love-death soundtrack, high romance, and melancholia of desire all make it grist for my mill. So though I love Welles and his Kane , the news that Sight & Sound 's once-a-decade critics poll has finally moved Hitch 's greatest film to top place - a vertiginous place - is news to celebrate.
