Visiting Filming Locations of "Obsession" (1976) in Firenze, Italy

Directed by Brian De Palma
Produced by George Litto
Screenplay by Paul Schrader
Story by Brian De Palma and Paul Schrader
Starring Cliff Robertson, Geneviève Bujold, John Lithgow and Stocker Fontelieu

Obsession is a 1976 American neo noir psychological thriller mystery film directed by Brian De Palma. The screenplay was by Paul Schrader, from a story by De Palma and Schrader. The story is about a New Orleans businessman who is haunted by guilt following the death of his wife and daughter during a kidnapping-rescue attempt gone wrong. Years after the tragedy, he meets and falls in love with a young woman who is the exact look-alike of his long dead wife.

Both De Palma and Schrader have pointed to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) as the major inspiration for Obsession's narrative and thematic concerns. Schrader's script was extensively rewritten and pared down by De Palma prior to shooting, causing the screenwriter to proclaim a complete lack of interest in the film's subsequent production and release. -Wikipedia

Visiting Filming Locations of "The Stendhal Syndrome" (1996) in Firenze, Italy

Directed by Dario Argento.
Produced by Dario Argento, Giuseppe Colombo & Walter Massi
Screenplay by Dario Argento.
Story by Dario Argento & Franco Ferrini.
Based on La Sindrome di Stendha by Graziella Magherini.
Starring Asia Argento, Thomas Kretschmann & Marco Leonardi.

The Stendhal Syndrome (Ital. La Sindrome di Stendhal) is a 1996 Italian horror film written and directed by Dario Argento and starring his daughter Asia Argento. It was the first Italian film to use computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Stendhal syndrome is a real syndrome, first diagnosed in Florence, Italy in 1982. Argento said he experienced Stendhal syndrome as a child. While touring Athens with his parents young Dario was climbing the steps of the Parthenon when he was overcome by a trance that caused him to become lost from his parents for hours. The experience was so strong that Argento never forgot it; he immediately thought of it when he came across Graziella Magherini's book about the syndrome, which would become the basis of the film. -Wikipedia.
