A new stage adaptation of Luchino Visconti’s Obsession opened officially at London’s Barbican April 25. The production, directed by Tony winner Ivo van Hove, stars stage and screen favorite Jude Law as Gino.
The play is based on Visconti’s 1943 feature film debut, which is in turn inspired by James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice.
