Professional spy Mark (a stunning Sam Neill, who passed away earlier this year) 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.&nbsp;</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With its pulsating score, visceral imagery, and some of the most haunting performances ever captured on screen, </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Possession</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is cinematic delirium at its most intoxicating.
