About

With their marriage in pieces Anna (Isabelle Adjani) and Mark's (Sam Neil) tense relationship has become a psychotic descent into screaming matches and violence. The unhinged Anna visits her monstrous lover in a deserted Berlin apartment and will stop at nothing to protect it. A horror film like no other, Possession is an intense, shocking experience that was banned in the UK. At Cannes Film Festival however the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Isabelle Adjani won Best Actress for her mesmerising performance.
