FT THE WOMAN WHO LIVED TWICE (VERTIGO) and 'based on a novel by Boileau-Narcejac, entitled D' Entre les morts, and that it 'was written especially for her, 'cause they made a movie.
AH but it was already 'a book before they bought the rights to me. FT
What 's that was more interested' in this book?
AH What interested me were the efforts made to create a woman James Stewart, starting with the 'image of a dead woman. As you know, this story is divided into two parts. The first comes to the death of Madeleine, his fall from 'top of the tower, and the second begins when the protagonist meets a brunette woman, Judy, who looks like Madeleine. In the book, at the 'beginning of the second part, the protagonist meets Judy and requires it to look more' than actually 'did not seem to Madeleine. And 'only at the end that we learn, along with James Stewart, it was the same woman. It 's a final surprise. In the film, I have proceeded differently. All 'beginning of the second half when Stewart met the brunette woman, I decided to immediately reveal the truth', but only to the viewer: Judy is not 'a woman who looks like Madeleine, and' own Madeleine. Around me all were opposed to this change, 'cause they thought that the revelation of' identity 'Judy were to be held by the end of the film. I imagined it to be a child seated on the knees of his mother who tells a story. When the mother stops telling, the child invariably asks: "Mommy, what happens next?". I discovered that in the second half of the novel by Boileau and Narcejac, when he met the brunette type, everything continues as if nothing happens after no. With my solution, the child knows that Madeleine and Judy are just the same, identical woman. So 'now asks his mother: "So James Stewart does not know? - No".
Here we are again in front of our usual alternative: Suspense or surprise? Now, we have the same course of 'action c' was in the book, Stewart for a while 'time will believe' that Judy is really Madeleine, then resign 'at the opposite idea, provided that Judy agrees to resemble in every respect Madeleine. The public, however, has received 'information. So we created a suspense based on this question: How will 'James Stewart finds out when' that she lied and that it 'actually Madeleine? Here's our main thought. I would add that another reason the film exists of interest in addition to this, 'cause you look at the strength of Judy to become the new Madeleine. In the book there 'was a woman who did not want to be transformed, everything Here, in the film c 'and' a woman who realizes that this' man gradually exposing the lies. Here 's the plot. There 's something else that will call' "psychological sex" and it 'here' the will 'that drives this' man to create a sexual image not possible, in a nutshell, this' man wants to sleep with a dead woman, is is necrophilia.
FT fact my favorite scenes are those in which James Stewart Judy accompanies a great tailor to buy a suit identical to the one that led the Madeleine, the care with which chooses the shoes, like a maniac ...
AH It 's the fundamental situation of the film. All the efforts of James Stewart to recreate the woman, cinematically, is shown as if trying to strip it instead of dressing. And the scene I felt more 'was when the woman comes back after having her hair dyed blond. James Stewart is not 'fully satisfied' cause has not collected his hair in a bun. What does this mean? It means that it 'almost naked in front of him, but he still refuses to take off their panties. Then James Stewart shows appealing and she says: "D 'agreement is good," and return to the bathroom. James Stewart is waiting to come back naked this time, ready for 'love.
