"Possession" was recommended to me due to the works of Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. I can perceive similarities with these authors; however, it's important to mention that this classic and cult horror film was created in a different historical context than the present, suggesting that its value as a film may have been greater in its time. The plot of the movie is interesting, as it begins as a romantic drama in which a husband returns home to discover that his wife has been unfaithful and no longer feels the same way about him. However, the plot takes an unexpected turn when elements soon emerge that do not fit with what one would expect in this type of drama. The viewer begins to perceive a strange and different atmosphere, the nature of which is not immediately evident but is later revealed clearly and forcefully.
As for the technical aspect of the film, the camera work did not live up to expectations. At times, it even seemed comical to imagine the cameraman running around everywhere and trying to avoid colliding with the actors. Because of this, I cannot praise the director for their work on this film. When searching for positive aspects in the overall film, I highlight the excellent acting, especially that of the talented Isabelle Adjani. However, I must admit that I became bored halfway through the plot, probably because I am not a fan of dramas. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, the camera work did not live up to expectations, which also affected my experience as a viewer. Therefore, my final rating for the film is a 6, although it could have been a 7 under other circumstances.
In summary, I consider that this film has relative value, as it could have had a greater impact in its time, but nowadays I perceive it as an amateurish movie with excellent performances and a bizarre plot, which nevertheless I could recommend without any problem.
