Possession

2002, Rated PG-13, 102 min. Directed by Neil LaBute. Starring Gywneth Paltrow, Aaron Eckhart, Jeremy Northam, Jennifer Ehle, Trevor Eve, Anna Massey and Toby Stephens.

So everyone knows that scene, right? With Isabelle Adjani in a dress, carrying shopping, and suddenly melting down in a tunnel, screaming and ranting, trying to tear the cosmos apart? Everyone knows it, every modern horror film seems to reference it. Yet, somehow, it never gets less soul-rending, less terrifying. Imitation can never diminish the original. Andrzej Żuławski‘s nightmare of modern psychosexual horror feels like a Lovecraftian summoning, bleeding straight into your soul. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of Possession.
