Just like in Stromboli, the rugged, imposing background- active Mt. Vesuvius, which erupted only a few years before, reveals the chasm between the couple. While narratively weak and with the unconvincing ending, Viaggio in Italia is, as Deleuze points out in Cinema II, the prototype for what's to come - Antonioni's urban ennui and isolation in L'Avventura and La Notte. #viaggioinitalia #lucinovisconti #ingridbergman

Ossessione (1943) - Visconti
Italian version of Jim Thompson’s Post Man Always Rings Twice. I somehow like it better than Hollywood version with Lana Turner & John Garfield #filmnoir #ossessione #LucinoVisconti
