About this event
Book tickets for two or more of our Cinema Rediscovered on Tour films in the same transaction to receive a discount! Revered for his chilling performance as Bill Sykes in David Lean’s Oliver Twist , Robert Newton steps into the role of a deceitful, brilliant psychiatrist in the 1949 British psychological noir, Obsession . Driven to the edge by his wife's infidelity, he orchestrates a sinister revenge. Written by Alec Coppel, who would later co-write Vertigo , and scored by the great Italian composer Nino Rota ( 8½ , The Godfather ), Obsession is a British film noir at its darkest and most deadly. Obsession has been restored by Powerhouse Films from a 4K scan of the nitrate duplicate negative, preserved at the BFI National Archive. Powerhouse Films publishes the Indicator series of Blu-rays and 4K UHDs, and, like Cinema Rediscovered, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. With thanks to Screenbound International Pictures.
