Directed by Luchino Visconti

Marxist Aristocrat Visconti is one of the great Italian directors, whose debut feature Ossessione ushered in the Neo-realist movement. Like De Sica, he was fascinated by the intricacies of human interaction, yet was equally proficient at lush melodramas - his masterpiece The Leopard remains one of MovieMail's most popular titles.
