Review of Obsession (1943) by Jaime M — 15 Dec 2010
You wouldnâ(TM)t have thought this film needed to be over two hours long the way the characters fall in and out of love and hate at whip neck speed. I know us Mediterranean types are supposed to be powder kegs of emotion but the capriciousness and fickleness of these characters ( they literally fall in love at first site and turn on each other in an instant) makes it impossible to invest in any of them.
We are never allowed to see the relationships develop, to see their journey. I can understand that for its historical importance Ossessione is celebrated but its far from a timeless classic.
