What Possession Is About
Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 film follows a marriage falling apart in Berlin. The wife wants to leave but will not say why. She is hiding something in another flat. The film turns separation directly into body horror; the narrative offers no explanation at all. Isabelle Adjani was awarded at Cannes. The scene in the underground is often cited in the history of cinema. It was banned in some countries. Who it's for: almost nobody. Who it's not for: viewers who cannot take extreme and disturbing bodily images; the film places them at the centre.
