Possession
May 6th 2011 02:33
Director: Andrzej Zulawaski
Screenplay: Andrzej Zulawski and Frederic Tuten
Production: France/West Germany
Year: 1981
Sub-genre tags: relationship drama, alien creature, art-house
Tagline: Murder. Evil. Infidelity. Madness.
Logline: A man, driven to desperation, tries to uncover his wife's secret lover, only to discover she is involved in something beyond human comprehension.
Core cast: Isabella Adjani (Anna/Helen), Sam Neill (Mark), Heinz Bennet (Heinrich), Michael Hogben (Bob), Margit Carstensen (Margit)
Memorable moments: Anna's hysterical and extreme psychological and physiological meltdown in the subway tunnel, and Mark's shocking discovery of his wife and lover in flagranti.
Curious Fact: The movie's original 123 minute running time was severely butchered by more than forty minutes for the American release and had a "polarization" effect added to parts of the end sequence. The overall result creates a strikingly different (and increasingly incoherent) movie.
Intensity levels:
Blood & gore: medium
Fear factor and/or frights: low
Likelihood of bad dreams (disturbing content): high
Horrorphile’s two cents: An unearthly beast borne from bitterness, misery, lust and madness. It seethes and lurches, and makes huge demands of the viewer, but it rewards in ways only a truly philosophical film can, that and its powerful visceral qualities. Think Cronenberg’s The Brood (1980) meets Alien (1979) meets Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) under the estranged guidance of Lars Von Trier … and you might get the slap of a existential idea of what in Devil's name Possession is about.
