Possession
“Inhuman ecstasy fulfilled.”
Director
Andrzej Żuławski
Screenplay
Andrzej 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.
