Ossessione

A woman and two men - Visconti uses this original constellation to create a drama that is considered the birth of neorealism. Gino falls for Giovanna, the wife of a petrol station owner. Together they plan to get rid of the unloved husband ... The film was immediately banned and only released again after the war. Bernd Kiefer: ‘In OSSESSIONE, no character knows what happiness could really be. Visconti lets them all fail.’
