Late Nite Grindhouse presents ‘Possession’ on February 11 & 12, 2022
Our second film in our 2022 Late Nite Grindhouse program is 1981’s Possession! This is a film I’ve been trying to play for, no joke, over 10 years back when we were at the Hi-Pointe. We’ve teamed up with Metrograph Pictures to acquire and exhibit the 4K restoration of Andrzej Żuławski’s domestic nightmare starring Isabelle Adjani, in one of the most memorable performances you will ever see, and Sam Neill.
TRUST ME, DO NOT MISS THIS!
The film has always had an interesting home video history. Currently, it can be seen only through physical media and even that comes at no cheap price. This film, to me, is required genre viewing.
SYNOPSIS
Banned upon its original release in 1981, Andrzej Żuławski’s highly choreographed nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other. Professional spy Mark (Sam Neill) returns to his West Berlin home to find his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani, in a role that earned her Best Actress at Cannes) insistent on a divorce. As Anna’s frenzied behavior becomes ever more alarming, Mark discovers a truth far more sinister than his wildest suspicions. With its pulsating score, visceral imagery, and some of the most grueling performances ever captured on screen, Possession is cinematic delirium at its most intoxicating.
