Blu-Ray Disc

The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Gino (Massimo Girotti, Senso), a drifter, arrives at a dusty trattoria in the Po Valley where he meets unhappily married Giovanna (Clara Calamai, Deep Red). Their first encounter ignites illicit passion and the pair plan to escape together with a plot to murder her husband. Adapted from James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice, Luchino Visconti's remarkable debut is a sweaty, sensual and morally ambiguous portrait of lust and desperation. Suppressed by Fascist censors, Ossessione launched a new era in Italian cinema and stands as a foundational work of neorealism.
