Obsession

Drama Mystery Thriller

1976, Movie, 1h 39min

Nearly twenty years after his wife’s tragic death, a guilt-ridden man (Cliff Robertson) meets her exact look-alike (Geneviève Bujold)—cue an obsessive makeover and an intricate series of double crosses. Sound familiar? With a script by Paul Schrader, endlessly swirling camerawork by cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, and a deliriously romantic score by composer Bernard Herrmann, Brian De Palma’s florid, New Orleans–set tribute to Alfred Hitchcock’s VERTIGO creates a spellbinding mood all its own.
