$24M→$236MObsession
by Curry Barker
My review
Not every film needs a Marxist reading. *Obsession* is about love and obsession — a boy whose selfishness drags a girl into horror. I'd bet the filmmaker has lived through a relationship where a partner used suicide as a threat. You don't write something this raw from theory.

My review
Svevo Moltrasio ha fatto due cose incredibili (e quindi ovvie): far recitare un attore come Marcello Macchia e aver fatto una commedia su una coppia che si vuole bene. Un uomo e una donna che sopravvivono alla vita insieme.
Non maschio-cattivo e povera-femmina ma un uomo e una donna che fanno le cose in accordo, raccontandosele tutte, che progettano, si aiutano, nel bene e nel male. E incredibile ma fanno anche figli senza lagna ma perché li vogliono.
Bravo Svevo anche nel divertirsi un botto nell'interpretare Stefano.
