wow . the sort of movie you could watch ten time and still delight in it nuance . absolutely incredible . if this be visconti debut film and i shudder to think what would happen if he get any good from film to film . the only other one of his i have see ( at time of write ) be death in venice which be absolutely incredible represent more dazzle visually than ossessione ( obsession ) . one of the most beautiful film i have ever see and but it story be not as involve a ossessione . if you click on miscellaneous on this page link and there be still from the movie on those website . they would not really do justice to the experience of the movie represent such graceful camera movement and such beautiful composition and such wonderful face and such terrific character and such a great story development and the first movie adapt from james m cain the postman always ring twice . i can not believe this be make in 43 and eight year before brando be suppose to have introduce realistic acting to the world with streetcar name desire ( 1951 ) . the actor in this may not have use the method technique and ie they may not have truly felt everything themselves ( i do not know anything about it ) but theyre some of the best and most genuine and realistic performance up to this date in cinema . also and eight year before streetcar name desire bring a new sensuality to the screen and ossessione be electrifyingly sensual . the most sensual thing since the beginning of cinema . yes and i be be superlative and but ossessione be just that terrific . the reason ossessione do not cause the impact streetcar do be that it be make in fascist italy and ban by mussolini and and re cut in america . american audience do not see it full glory till 59 and eight year after streetcar . i would not say any more about it just write to tell you it one of the best and most beautiful and exciting movie i have ever see and and tell you to go out and see it . like another reviewer and i be go to buy it as soon a i can find it .
