Review of Obsession (1943) by Mark D — 16 Jul 2011
Is it the first neo-realist flick, or the first Giallo? Who gives a shit, its just a mighty fine adaptation of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' done in that Italian style that I crave on a daily basis.
It is however interesting to consider its troubled production and release under the fascist regime. Visconti concentrates on the character development throughout which is imperative to the narrative and the themes of sexual obsession and murder amongst others.
Classic Italian cinema.
