Obsession (Widescreen)

Loved this movie, especially the acting by Cliff Robertson and Genevieve Bujold. Not too many mystery/dramas are made today to compare to this movie.

This Film is just astonishing from start to finish.
It has a stellar cast, some of the best direction ever, and a very haunting , compelling score by Bernard Herrmann.
The story and the climactic ending will probably leave you feeling many different emotions. It did me.
I loved the scenery in the film , the locations, the use of the camera ,all thanks to Mr. Brian DePalma.
This is by far his greatest films, and he has many, but this one just took me by surprise, and tugs at your heartstrings.
I hope you will watch this film and feel the same way as i do about it.
It's one very compelling film, and highly overlooked, but it should not be overlooked, because it is a cinematic treasure.
Yes, it does feel like Vertigo a bit, but it stands on it's own, and is so very different than Vertigo.

I have to admit i love this film for it's unbelievable Bernard Herrmann score. It rivals all his other film scores and seems to be an homage to all of them together as well. I recall when i first saw this film on tv as a kid, i was only interested in Brian Depalma's reputation as a horror director(Sisters, Carrie etc. i was a big fan) But i was totally blown away by the breathtaking action and heartbreaking storyline of this film. However it was ultimatly that powerful score with it's haunting chorus that did me in. Most especially at the film's absurdly surreal finish, where it resonates like a macabre waltz echoing the films tragic 'love' story(And the dvd carries an excellent 5.0 surround sound track that sounds like the orchestra itself playing in your home) If you like Depalma, this is like his ultimate Hitchcock film, and especially if you like Herrmann this is arquably his best score ever. Such a shame classy stuff like this 'minor' Depalma get over looked while his in your face 'Scarface' gets all the attention. This film is impeccable in it's content. It is tastefully done with very mild profanity, and no vulgarities(a breath of fresh air) Yet it's very adult theme still haunts long after the film ends, as does it's powerful score.
