Resum

This work was created by the need to investigate further the passion of love, one of the most intense experiences and meaningful human existence. It is a feeling very articulate, full of nuances never final, and somewhat mysterious, and that involves the whole identity of the individual, I think it is still far from having been fully analyzed and understood in all its forms and expressions . Despite being past its prime, even the passion of love as any human phenomenon, affected by constant changes in society, absorbs models and lifestyles prevailing in a 'period or in a specific historical period; although made up of a sum of emotions very intimate, it also leaves through the social and cultural pressures often changing shape and direction and is reflected, sometimes dangerously, in the aspects of everyday life that are the true reality. With this research, I intend to find out what are now new ways to experience this feeling, especially when it leads to extreme forms to become disease and how it affected the push model, the myths and symbols of modern society. As the subject of my analysis will not choose, however, of individuals, but of Italian films, an artistic medium that has always fascinated me considering those who hold you be more indicative in terms of my hypothesis exploratory. Based on the conviction that the Cinema, and the Italian one in particular, is an 'art form' that is 'life forms', and that has been defined as the most powerful medium of expression and processing of popular sentiments in a first part I will try to draw a map of the formal Italian cinema since the advent of sound to date, in order to follow the changes in the representation of the passion of love together with those of film language, trying to capture through the works of the greatest Italian directors all the social implications and customs that this sentiment has played over nearly a century. In the second part of my work I will focus on two works I film graphic-kind, and united by the same word that caught my imagination: Obsession. The first film is precisely 'Obsession' (1943) debut of the master Luchino Visconti, the second is a contemporary film, 'First Love' (2003) by Matteo Garrone, one of the best directors of the new generation, focused on the narrative of a loving relationship based on an 'obsession' particular. quite modern. Through my personal analysis film will try to highlight these two species of 'obsessions' amorous, tracking the dialogues, scenes, styles and cinematic techniques that have allowed the two filmmakers to convey the sense of a feeling so deep and so powerful lead to subversive behavior and all-encompassing, but in the end always subject to the social conditions of the time, the result of historical and cultural factors of the two periods under review. As a research tool of the most important films in my optical work, I shall avail myself of the Italian film archives, first of all, the online database of Anica of Rome, from which I shall draw cards filmic works to examine and comment on that later visionerò taking account the critical reviews more accredited. .For the analysis of the film on which I will focus in the second part of the work. I intend to follow the directions of the greatest scholars of the language of cinema in all its components, in particular, I will refer to the text of the manual film Rondolino - Tomasi, from which I shall draw useful suggestions to pursue my personal vision.
