Kim Novak Documentary Biopic ‘Kim Novak’s Vertigo’ Acquired by Dogwoof (EXCLUSIVE)

Dogwoof has acquired world sales rights for Kim Novak documentary biopic "Kim Novak’s Vertigo" from filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe.

The film is an intimate portrait of the fiercely independent star, who left Hollywood behind to live life on her own terms, “revealing a haunting, resilient journey of art, identity and authenticity in the shadow of one of cinema’s most iconic roles,” according to Dogwoof. The film will blend rare archival footage with personal reflections from Novak and glimpses into her reclusive life along Oregon’s wild Rogue River, and traces her path from mid-century cinema icon to fiercely private artist. Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” remains her most iconic role, and the film explores how that performance — and the duality it captured — mirrors the ongoing tension between image and identity that shaped her life.
