Film Synopsis
Obsession: A Taste for Fear (1987) follows a reserved technician who becomes infatuated with a colleague’s wife after observing her alone in an apartment where a stranger recently died. As his fixation deepens into voyeuristic obsession, his fantasies and anxieties escalate, blurring desire and dread in an unsettling psychological spiral. This erotic-thriller blends introspective tension and creeping unease in a stark study of fixation, secrecy, and the unstable boundary between imagination and peril.
