Possession (1981) dir. Andrzej Zulawski
Have you seen this? It’s the most insanely overwrought film I’ve ever seen. Written while Zulawski was going through a divorce, it’s shockingly nihilistic and bleak. Amazing performance from Isabelle Adjani, who said that “He [Zulawski] is a director that makes you sink into his world of darkness and his demons.” I love the art and the single line of English on the back jacket of this German DVD release.

@Apocryphiliac I've got this one on my list but it seems hard to come by in the US. Keeping my eye out for it on one of the niche streamers.
@thudfactor I’ve never heard of this site before, but apparently it’s on this “Metrograph” thing. 🤷♂️

@Apocryphiliac That looks… awesome.
@thudfactor Don’t know about that site, but if you have an interest in body horror or avant-garde European cinema, this is worth owning on physical media, if you have the means. I know they recently released a limited quantity of it on BR/4K (I think) at Vinnegar Syndrome’s site. If all else fails, I have this DVD listed for sale (because I have an upgraded BR version of it also). ;) It’s fucking intense though, be warned! Watching it is like seeing a paranoid delusion come to life.
@Apocryphiliac I'll keep my eye out; I am a physical media collector. I really dug “Raw.”
@thudfactor nothing beats physical media! 👍 Raw was good… the BR for Titane (Julia Ducournau‘s follow-up) always seems to be on sale at Penis Rocket Man’s site (3 for 2 deals) also, icymi. 👍
