ever seen the movie-masterpiece "possession", made in 1981 by andrzej zulawski (the same guy who made "nachtblende" or, in french, "l´important c'est d'aimer" with romy schneider and klaus kinski)?
"possession" (and PLEASE buy ONLY the director´s cut (123 min.) which is 45 minutes longer than the "cleansed" us-release!) is a very strange movie, starring isabelle adjani and a young sam neill as an american couple with little son bob living in the middle of kreuzberg, berlin; where neill works as a sinister employee for an even more sinister consortium... neill discovers that his wife got a lover during his absences and the whole shebang becomes very VERY dark and aggressive. including adjanis lover, a bloody tentacle-nightmare out of a lovecraft masturbation fantasy who lives inside an abandoned house near the berlin wall where "he" uses to fuck adjani. one day she feeds him with a private eye (who is the intimate lover of his own boss...). and the teacher of neill´s son looks exactly like his mother (both adjani: as bob´s mother with blue eyes, as teacher with green) and so on and on...
in the end there are doppelgangers and pink socks and a gas explosion and...and... and...
i was possessed the first time i saw the movie. maybe this is zulawskis hidden opus magnum. people who love roeg´s "the man who fell to earth" or the early polanski-works (including "rosemarie´s baby" and "repulsion") will love "possession" the same or much more!
so go and get the dvd!
