Something is wrong with Anna (Isabelle Adjani). Having taken a lover, she abruptly asks her husband, Mark (Sam Neill), for divorce. He's desperate for an explanation, but Anna's answers are elusive at best. She's in crisis – becoming emotional, avoidant, self-harming, and neglectful of their son. Mark has no idea, but behind her increasingly erratic behavior is a monstrous secret.
The films of Andrzej Żuławski lie beyond narrative, emotion, and sanity. POSSESSION is a raw depiction of the monstrosity of marital strife and the fear of female sexuality. A Hollywood favourite combining existential dread with doppelgangers, blood, and body horror, POSSESSION is truly one of a kind.
