Sequoia - The Ever Living

"Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice."

Madeleine says this in Vertigo.

Vertigo based on a novel The Living and the Dead (also published as Vertigo) by Pierre Boileau and Pierre Ayraud (Thomas Narcejac)

"The story concerns a former detective who suffers from "Acrophobia" who is hired to follow the wife of a friend who suspects her of infidelity. The detective becomes obsessed with the woman, eventually falling in love with her but unable to explain her strange trances and her belief in a previous life. When she falls to her death from a tower, he is unable to save her due to his fear of heights and experiences a psychotic break. After his partial recovery he encounters a woman who is nearly the image of his dead love, and the obsession begins all over again..."
