Ossessione

A landmark film in both Neo-Realist and giallo traditions, the legacy of Ossessione lives and breathes in every frame.

The raw warm poetry of Ossessione has nothing to do with neo-realism; the film is unencumbered by ideology and political commitment.

Ossessione is the fully achieved work of a matured artist, and in the last analysis it heralds nothing but the oracular career of one of the very greatest of the elect in that still small clutch of film masters.

I don't know if I can say exactly that 'Obsession' is a Luchino Visconti's masterpiece, but without a doubt it seems to me to be a rather subtle neorealist film about misery, adultery and remorse. [Full review in Spanish]
