"Inhuman ecstasy fulfilled." Metrograph Pictures has released a very short trailer for the 4K restoration of the acclaimed horror film Possession, made by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Zulawski in 1981. This originally premiered at the 34th Cannes Film Festival in 1981, where Isabelle Adjani won the award for Best Actress; it was initially banned upon release in the US. But now it's back and looks better than ever, restored and being re-released on the big screen this October. It will screen at Fantastic Fest and then show in select art house cinemas nationwide in October. The plot obliquely follows the relationship between an international spy and his wife, who begins to exhibit increasingly disturbing behavior after asking him for a divorce. The film stars Isabelle Adjani & Sam Neill. Upon release in 1981 it was not a commercial success either in Europe or in the United States, where it was shown with an edited version, but eventually achieved cult status. I like how short this trailer is, not much to it at all… but I do hope they put out a full-length contemporary trailer, too. ›››
