Details OBSESSION (Brian De Palma, 1976, DCP, 98 mins)
A rich New Orleans real estate developer’s guilt over his wife’s violent death leads to an obsession with a woman who resembles her. With a screenplay by Paul Schrader, cinematography by Vilmos Szigmond, and an Oscar-nominated score by Bernard Herrmann (who considered it his best), OBSESSION is both a melodrama and a neo-noir thriller, one that displays its debt to Hitchcock in its story and style. Cliff Robertson, Geneviève Bujold, and John Lithgow star. DCP from Sony.

The ​“VertiGoals” film series is devoted to Hitchcock’s Vertigo and a selection of films it inspired.
