"Inspirada en la novela de James M. Cain 'El cartero siempre llama dos veces', este filme es uno de los precursores del neorrealismo."
"Ossessione is based on a naturalist novel in the American hard-boiled style about two people - an itinerant and a woman fearful of material insecurity -brought together by chance, who become lovers, murder the woman's husband in a staged accident and take over his roadside inn. The film Italianises Cain's novel, transposing it into the bleak lowlands of the Po Valley (see also Antonioni's Il Grido). Visconti developed the theme of the destructive power of sexual passion at the expense of Cain's crude notion of poetic justice and introduced a symbolic dimension through the character of the travelling showman. While prefiguring Visconti's continuing thematic and formal concerns Ossessione, given the time it was made, necessarily lacks the political and historical perspective of his subsequent work. It is really a watershed film for Italian cinema in which Visconti combined a realist vitality with an interest in formal arrangement."
"The story of the ill-fated love between Gino, a virile young drifter, who arrives by chance at a roadside restaurant and filling station, and Giovanna, the beautiful young wife of the fat old man who owns the place.
