Popis: A minor motif, the record player, has significance beyond simply being part of Vertigo’s mise en scene. In the works of other filmmakers, mainstream and avant-garde alike, turntables serve as devices that generate anxiety and symbolize sexual activity and violent acts. In Vertigo, however, they cast light on the possibility that there is a rich vein of risque humor in the film, serving to disguise an underlying meditation on masculine virility as a wobbly rhythm of psychosexual loss-replacement-loss-replacement, and so on.
