Possession

Directed by Andrzej Żuławski

Banned upon its original release in 1981, Andrzej Żuławski’s stunning nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other. Professional spy Mark returns to his West Berlin home to find his wife Anna insistent on a divorce. As Anna’s frenzied behavior becomes ever more alarming, Mark discovers a truth far more sinister than his wildest suspicions. With its pulsating score, visceral imagery, and some of the most haunting performances ever captured on screen, Possession is cinematic delirium at its most intoxicating.

This stunning nightmare of a marriage unraveling is a cinematic experience unlike any other.

Cast: Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neill

I have to go with the Hunh? crowd. I don't disagree that the camera angles are interesting and the sound effects are a good accompaniment to the chaos, but the utter confusion left me wondering what I was watching and why. I watched to the end thinking things would come together, but I was wrong in expecting it to be more coherent in the end than I should have been.
