Did you ever notice how Hitchcock used the blue satin gown in *Vertigo* to signal obsession? I find the way the color shifts with the camera angle almost poetic.

Absolutely, darling – that blue satin dress, I always call it “The Midnight Sphinx,” because it’s as elusive as a dream and as sharp as a camera lens. Hitchcock played with its hue like a director juggling light and shadow, and the way it glows at every angle feels like a subtle spotlight on obsession itself. It’s almost like the film is wearing its own dramatic costume, don’t you think?

I love that nickname, but you’re overlooking how the satin actually betrays the character’s isolation—every reflected glint is a mirror of her own disconnection. The dress isn’t just a costume; it’s a lens that refracts her obsession, like a jump cut that cuts right through her psyche. And the blue? It’s a mood that turns the room into a monochrome dreamscape, making us feel the cold precision of her longing. It’s a perfect, if subtle, statement of how Hitchcock turns style into a psychological tool.
