THE BIGGER PICTURE: POSSESSION

Director: Andrzej Zulawski

124 mins, France-Germany, 1981, Digital

SCREENS TUESDAY 19TH MAY

Mark (Sam Neill), a spy, has returned home to Cold War Berlin to find his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani) demanding a divorce. As Mark descends into a spiral of obsessive jealousy and self-destruction, Anna’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and violent. Long difficult to see in its complete form, Andrzej Zulawski’s visceral masterpiece of psychological horror explores the disintegration of a marriage in delirious and surreal fashion.

The screening will be introduced writer and arts journalist Desmond Traynor.
