Customer Reviews of Beyond Obsession
WHEN A MAN AND A WOMEN CROSS THE FRBIDDEN LINE! Exotic Morocco is the background for this psychological thriller. Marcello Mastroianni plays an exdiplomat in jail for the murder of his wife. He is soon visited by a young woman, who not only happens to be his lover, but his step-daughter as well. In turn, she meets an American engineer (beringer) and ultimately falls in love with him. A bizarre erotic triangle forms, as this tale of strange bedfellows comes to a shocking climax
Beyond Obsession - Not for the moral
You need closed captioning to understand the French & Italian in this film. I bought it for Berenger & actually threw it away after one viewing. It should have been rated R. There's nudity in 3 different scenes that will have you sick. The 1st is right at the beginning in a shower & it's totally uncalled for! Gist of movie is this: Young blonde is in Marakesh toiling for money any way she knows how doubling as a travel agent to finance her father/step-father in prison as an ex-diplomat. The American engineer is Berenger who takes a liking to the blonde & tries to make sense of her obvious obsession with the much older man played by Marcello Mastrionni (sp?). He tries to get her away from him when he takes leave from prison at odd times. (It seems one can do or have just about anything for money here!) Berenger finally takes her away to live with him in Italy & she finds peace UNTIL her father/step-father finds her & the obsession begins all over again. She actually leaves Berenger for the older man who has an unholy hold on her. It's pitiful & I don't recommend it. Sure, Berenger looks good as usual but it's just not worth watching all the filth to see his memorable paces he's put through. Skip this one.
Stange but somehow good.
This movie tends toward schlock, but it is surprisingly free from conventions which makes for an interesting rental. A truly international film (set in Marrekesh, starring Italian, American and African actors, dialog in French, Italian and English). The version I saw was unfortunately dubbed in certain sections, but I was amazed when it was actually Tom Berenger saying some of his lines in French. Mastroianni doesn't get to display his acting prowess but he looks mighty good (actually he looks a lot like Jean Reno). Good acting, interesting plot twists and a great location save this film from being strict melodrama.
