Ranked #2 on Sight & Sound's greatest films of all time list. Extremely engrossing and tense. A masterwork in pulling in the audience...even if they find the characters repellent...and never letting them go for a minute. Great performance by JS...I think his best. Exceptional use of San Francisco locations. Eerie, dreamlike quality to the scenes where the two leads are alone.
A film about obsession, illusion, guilt, intrigue, deception, murder. Now considered his greatest film and deservedly so.
