Possession, directed by Andrzej Zuawski, is a surreal exploration of the chaos surrounding divorce, mirrored in the collapse of his own marriage. The film begins with Mark, a spy, returning home to discover his wife Anna desires a divorce, citing an affair with Heinrich. Anna's increasingly erratic behavior towards their son and her secretive disappearing acts set a ominous tone. The atmosphere of West Berlin amplifies the film’s tension, distinguished by its unsettling visual aesthetics and disjointed dialogue. The film escalates to bizarre revelations, with Anna's true lover revealed as a mysterious, tentacled creature.
Possession opens as Mark, a spy, returns home and finds that his wife, Anna, wants a divorce, revealing she's having an affair, ostensibly with Heinrich.
West Berlin is somehow both creepily clean and decaying, haunted by an overwhelming sense of paranoia, with glimpses of real patrolling soldiers.
