Obsession (1943)
Of course I liked it
4 March 2003
"Ossessione", meaning Obsession, is based on James Cain novel "The Postman Always Rings Twice", which is my namesake on IMDB, so it was a near guarantee that I was going to love this movie. I did. This film is full of everything that would get it banned in Italy in the 1940's: passionate sex, brutal violence, tension and intrigue. It's a simple story and one that has been given the variation treatment throughout many Film Noir films, but things are not what they seem. Ah, marvelous!
