Description

NEW RESTORATION! 

 

You voted and the winner of Hollywood Suite’s “Body Horror” Movie Madness bracket is… POSSESSION (1981)! A deeply disturbing domestic fable from Polish vanguard Andrej Žulawski, POSSESSION is a bonafide cult horror. Filmed in West Berlin, POSSESSION recounts the unravelling marriage between international spy Mark (Sam Neil) and Anna (Isabelle Adjani), who, upon her husband’s return home, reveals that she has moved onto the affections and pleasures of an “other.” Hinged between relatable nervous breakdown and otherworldly demonic possession, Adjani’s performance is legendary, earning her an award at Cannes. Her character’s infamous U-Bahn freak out would become one of the uncanniest embodiments of psychological torment captured on camera. Join Hollywood Suite at the Revue on Wednesday, October 1st for the Revue’s Spooky Season kick-off screening of the body horror must-see, POSSESSION!
