Part horror, part political allegory Possession, directed by avant-garde Polish helmer Andrzej Zulawski, is a hugely controversial film. It appeared on the notorious banned ‘Video Nasties’ list and has been unavailable in the UK on DVD until now.
Possession stars Isabelle Adjani (Subway, La Reine Margot) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Omen III – The Final Conflict) and features stunning special effects by Carlo Rambaldi (Alien, E.T.). It makes its DVD debut on 25 October 2010 courtesy of Second Sight.
With their marriage in tatters Anna (Adjani) and Mark’s (Neill) tense relationship has become a psychotic descent into screaming matches, violence and self-mutilation. Believing his wife’s only lover is the sinister Heinrich, Mark is unaware of the diabolical, tentacled creature that Anna has embarked on an affair with. The unhinged woman visits her monstrous lover in a deserted Berlin apartment and will stop at nothing to protect him.
