About

Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession is an unparalleled slice of cinematic delirium. The film traces the tempestuous relationship brewkdown between Mark (Sam Neill) and Anna (Isabella Adjani) amid the paranoid panopticon of divided Berlin. Investigating his suspicions of Anna's infidelity, the emotionally fragile Mark begins a romance with her lookalike, while encountering increasingly disturbing revelations about his wife's activities. Winner of the Best Actress award at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, Żuławski’s psychosexual fever dream is a lurid journey into the recesses of the human soul.
