OBSESIÓN FATAL

Gerard Depardieu is a raffish dock worker who mourns his raped and murdered sister amongst the sleazy dives of the seedy Marseilles waterfront. When mystery girl Nastassja Kinski shows up, he is bewitched by her beauty and learns she may know something about the identity of his sibling’s attacker.

Before Jean-Jacques Beineix turned the cinematic up a notch with Betty Blue and after he made his mega-hit debut Diva, he directed this underrated and sublimely moody adaptation of American crime writer extraordinaire David Goodis, a delirious and audacious neo-noir.
