I have been looking for an online version of this essay that originally appeared in Conversations awhile back, for too long to count. An amazing and personal piece of film criticism and elation that will make you look at the movie again.
It is reachable from:

As he ends the essay,
"Obviously, this text is addressed to those who know Vertigo by heart. But do those who don't deserve anything at all?

I found this by searching on the exact text you quote in Google.

Thanks for the heads-up. Stop by chrismarker.org sometime. Cheers, Daniel (blind librarian)
by chance, i found the exact same essay yesterday (maybe we both found the same link on moviecitynews.com). marker is my favorite essayist/filmmaker. i still think la jetee is the greatest piece of film criticism ever made since it's basically marker's response to vertigo filtered through his own feelings about war/doom/annihilation that must have been intensified during the 60s. i wonder how marker feels now that things are so much worse.
