If you loved La tierra tiembla, try Obsesión
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Luchino Visconti, and they both carry the foreign gem, raw, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La tierra tiembla, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Obsesión is
Visconti's first film is a markedly un-Visconti-like noir. A drifter and a married woman embark on a torrid affair and conspire to murder her older husband. It's a sweaty, grubby melodrama, which may be why cinephiles still rate it so highly.
