Possession

“Inhuman ecstasy fulfilled.”
★7.3/10(1,491)Rage•1981•2h 4m
Horror
DirectorAndrzej Żuławski
ScreenplayAndrzej Żuławski
Andrzej Zulawski's frenzied, harrowing art-horror film stars Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a couple whose disintegrating marriage in Cold War Berlin curdles into something monstrous, culminating in Adjani's astonishing, body-contorting subway breakdown and a grotesque supernatural secret. Operatic, disturbing and nearly indescribable, it won Adjani the Cannes best-actress prize. Long a banned video nasty, it has been reclaimed as a singular masterpiece of unhinged emotional and physical extremity.
