By making use of feminist filmtheory and especially Laura Mulvey's essay "Visual Pleasure and the Narrative Cinema"(1975), Alfred Hitchcock's acclaimed film noir Vertigo (1958) will be compared toFrançois Truffaut's very own version of a film noir, La Siréne du Mississippi3 (1969).The focus of the comparison will lie on the display of misogyny in order to hold up malehegemony and hide male neurosis and dependency.
