Possession

Possession is Polish auteur Andrzej Zulawski’s horrible masterpiece of the basest emotions made manifest, featuring pantheonic performances from Isabelle Adjani and the late Sam Neil as Anna and Mark, a married couple who’s partnership crumbles under the weight of infidelity, paranoia, and violence. When Anna leaves Mark to care for their young son alone, he embarks on a deliriously oblique investigation through West Germany, encountering doppelgängers, espionage, pink socks, and an electric carving knife, in search of who (or what) his wife left him for, finding instead only a spiritual void of self annihilation and hatred.
