Possession – Wa Trailer – German (HD)
Horror masterpiece back in the cinema: This is Possessionzulawski’s film in the divided Berlin in the early 1980s and illuminates the decaying spouse of Mark (Sam Neill) and Anna (Isabelle Adjani). One day the ex-intelligence officer finds out that his wife has an affair with the German intellectual Heinrich (Heinz Bennent). He engages a private investigator who re -enacts Anna and encounters a much more monstrous secret.
Possession can be roughly described, but his Incolored force must be experienced yourself. The Polish director Andrzej żuławski has a special technology borrowed from the theater with the actors: inside, in which this always played into exhausting rage near the complete madness.
Possession is only superficially about a bitter marriage crisis that Zulawski processed with his own divorce from actress Malgorzata Braunek. Instead, the film is a disturbing mix of slimy-departing genre elements, the portrait of a divided city that is still drawn by war, and an apocalyptic hell trip.
Is particularly unforgettable A scene in which Isabelle Adjani finally plays into the delirium. The sequence, in which her Anna runs through a subway station, emissions a mixture of painful screams and laughing euphoria and flips through a kind of demonic miscarriage for minutes is one of the most incredible moments in the horror film history.
