On Thursday, May 26 with the penultimate round Neorealismo e dintorni
Penultimate round with a series of films Neorealismo e dintorni at the Palladino Cinema of San Giovanni Rotondo. Thursday, May 26 ay 9pm is the time of the film “Obsession,” the 1943 film directed by Luchino Visconti and loosely based on the novel The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain. Many scholars conventionally associated with this film the birth of the neo-realist Italian film genre to the expressive power and sensuality of the scenes of passion between Girotti and Calamai, breaking with the tradition of calligraphy of Fascist cinema. The title role was, at first, assigned to Anna Magnani, but the actress had to resign because of her pregnancy.
