Andrzej Zulawski’s acclaimed psychological horror Possession is receiving a brand new 4K makeover courtesy of Metrograph Pictures, and ahead of its premiere at Fantastic Fest next month we have a new poster and trailer for the restoration’s release; check them out here…
Banned upon its original release in 1981, Andrzej Żuławski’s stunningly 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 haunting performances ever captured on screen, Possession is cinematic delirium at its most intoxicating.
The 4K restoration of Possession will premiere at Fantastic Fest and is releasing at Metrograph from October 1st before expanding across the U.S. on October 15th.
