Synopsis: 

Directed by Andrzej Żuławski, Possession is a psychological horror drama that blurs the line between marital breakdown and supernatural terror. Starring Sam Neill as a spy and Isabelle Adjani in her Cannes-winning role as a wife unraveling after asking for a divorce, the film plunges into a surreal and unsettling portrait of obsession, transformation, and madness. Initially controversial and commercially overlooked, Possession has since become a cult classic, celebrated for its intensity, shocking imagery, and Adjani’s unforgettable performance.
