Possession (1981)
4/10
What in the World
18 September 2023
Everyone in this movie talks like a character in a picaresque novel from the 18th century. People behave insanely, constantly, as if they're all mentally ill or intoxicated. Then the cherry on top is that Isabelle Adjuani claims to have made love all night with some kind of slimy ropy sea creature that is mysteriously covered in blood.

What the hell is going on here? I am all for symbolism and originality but Possession strikes me as just being weird for the sake of being weird. The characters are increasingly annoying with their trippy, poetic dialogue passing itself off as normal conversation.
