It's been announced that Andrzej Zulawski's hybrid horror film, Possession will be making a return to cinemas in honor of its 40th anniversary. The brand new 4K restoration of the movie starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill is set to make an appearance at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest but will also be receiving a limited run in theaters just in time for the Halloween month of October. Possession will be available on the festival run and streaming on the 1st of the month but will also expand to nationwide theaters on the 15th. Metrograph Pictures has worked up the anniversary release with information currently available on their website here.
“Banned upon release in 1981, Żuławski’s stunningly choreographed nightmare of a marriage unraveling is an experience unlike any other. Professional spy Mark (Neill) returns to his West Berlin home to find his wife Anna (Adjani) insistent on a divorce. As Anna’s frenzied behavior becomes ever more alarming, Mark discovers a truth 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.”
Possession features some amazing acting along with phenomenal visual effects and all practical design work. If you get a chance to see in a theater, it is highly suggested.
