acrophobia

His masterpiece 'Vertigo' is a profound psychological exploration of acrophobia and its devastating emotional consequences.

He repeatedly examined vertigo and the fear of heights as metaphors for psychological instability and moral vertigo in films like 'Vertigo' influences and his own psychological thrillers.

His films 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' use elevated spaces and vertiginous perspectives to intensify dread and the sensation of losing control.
