Review of Obsession (1943) by Sam R — 08 Feb 2008
I'm always reluctant about Italian neo-realism because I always expect a big, long misery-fest about how hard life is but this had a bit more to it. Based on The Postman Always Rings Twice, this follows a drifter as he gets tangled up with a married woman who persuades him to kill her husband but of course it doesn't run so smoothly.
It drags a bit in places but it's generally a pretty good film noir with some great photography.
