Inhuman ecstasy fulfilled.

Set in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, infused with Cold War-era paranoia and tension, POSSESSION is a film that defies classification. One of the most tortured portraits of a disintegrating marriage ever presented on screen, visionary director ANDRZEJ ZULAWSKI masterfully blends horror and thriller conventions into an utterly unique cinema experience drawing on his own traumatic divorce and creative blacklisting in his native Poland. Spy Mark (SAM NEILL) returns to West Berlin after a mission to find that his wife Anna (ISABELLE ADJANI) wants a divorce. She is having an affair, but insists that isn''t the reason. When Mark hires a private detective to get to the truth, an even more disturbing secret is uncoveredAnna keeps a separate apartment housing an otherworldly, tentacled creature with a ravenous sexual appetite (created by special effects legend CARLO RAMBALDI of ALIEN fame). So continues the descent into a nightmarish maze of jealousy, carnality devoid of satisfaction, insanity, terror and murder where identity and reality are almost impossible to distinguish. Notorious for the demands it placed on its stars, Adjani's searing performance earned her the Best Actress award at Cannes in 1981. Savagely cut for the US market by bewildered distributors, and banned in the UK for almost two decades, it remains every bit as powerful and shocking today as it was on release. Umbrella Entertainment proudly presents this director approved version of POSSESSION in stunning 4K UHD.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Mark (Sam Neill) comes home from work after being absent from his wife, Anna (Isabelle Adjani) and his only son, Bob (Michael Hogben), for quite some time. However, Mark's time of rest with his family is short-lived. One day, Mark comes home and finds Anna has left without notice, requesting a divorce without any reason. Mark conducts his own investigation, keen to seek the truth about Anna's sudden change in heart. But the more Mark learns about Anna, the more eager he is to convince her to return home. He also discovers she has been displaying deeply disturbing behaviour, starting with a secret love affair. Conversely, Mark becomes increasingly dangerous and overly passionate about getting the truth no matter what stands in his way. Now, he is extremely dangerous and harmful to himself and those around him. Possession is best described as a heavy drama film with many horrifying and disturbing moments. What begins as a minor story grows into something far greater than I expected, and many scenes are uncomfortable to witness, including psychotic behaviour and violence. In the end, there's enough here to force viewers to look away from the screen on several occasions or feel squeamish. The onscreen atmosphere is great but haunting. There's tremendous camera work here, capturing close-ups of key characters and violent moments that feel real. The tension builds up at a slow pace, but viewers will find themselves wanting to know what on Earth is going on with Anna. Some mysteries are quite baffling, and the ending contains enough questionable aspects that multiple rewatches will likely be in order for many viewers. Overall, with an unsettling atmosphere that starts minor but only grows and festers into something far more disturbing, Possession is not an easy watch. It's still a breathtaking experience based on the visuals and camera work alone. Performances from Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill are amazing as we witness their characters undergoing a massive transformation. While there's so much greatness regarding the drama and horror style, I am saddened to say many audiences will be baffled by certain areas of the plot. I'm confident that viewers will have a greater understanding after multiple rewatches are had, but given how messed up this film is, I'm not sure I want to return back in a big hurry. *This review has been written for Sanity.
