Possession

West Berlin, early 1980s. Mark and Anna’s marriage has broken down, but for the sake of their child they want to give it another go. Yet their failure seems inevitable … Żuławski’s film pushes separation, jealousy and loss of identity to almost hysterical extremes. After 75 minutes, Isabelle Adjani will step out of a tube and deliver one of the most delirious, nightmarish performances in film history.
