Jude Law stars in Ivo van Hove’s new stage production of Obsession, broadcast live from the Barbican Theatre in London, adapted from Luchino Visconti’s 1943 film.
Gino is a drifter, down-at-heel and magnetically handsome. At a road side restaurant he encounters husband and wife, Giuseppe and Giovanna. Irresistibly attracted to each other, Gino and Giovanna begin a fiery affair and plot to murder her husband. But, in this chilling tale of passion and destruction, the crime only serves to tear them apart. One hour 40 minutes.
