I think this movie was very much influenced by Vertigo; and there are several scenes that have such a strong resemblance, that I suspect the director was "indicating" that this was something of a homage.

Here are some of my favourite movies that have a similar themes such as obsession/love, deception/trickery, with plot twists that deceive the audience along with the characters in the story...

House Of Games 1987
Basic Instinct 1992

Nine Queens/Nueve reinas (2000)

Ditto Vertigo, this film has a similar surreal gothic vibe but Vertigo was a lot nicer.

I also recommend:

Original Sin
Dragonwyck
Diabolique
Body Double
The Girl in a Swing
Jane Eyre
Crimson Peak
Rebecca
Wuthering Heights
Old Boy

If you like films about deception generally, I recommend:

The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Usual Suspects
Primal Fear
The Prestige (someone already recommended this)
Stonehearst Asylum
21
No Way Out
Now you See Me
Shutter Island

Matchstick Men

Heist, the 2001 David Mamet film starring Gene Hackman and Rebecca Pidgeon. Another unlikely couple. And much deviousness and deception.

The Spanish Prisoner, also by Mamet.

I'd also say Laura. Another old-coot connoisseur who thinks he's going to make it with the hottest chick in town.
