Possession
I can't exist by myself because I'm afraid of myself, because I'm the maker of my own evilIsabelle Adjani's performance was so raw it stopped being acting, it turned into a physical language of pain, like her movements, her body language was speaking something that words couldn't, and i felt it so deeply.
She was possessed-not by the demon, but by feelings too big for a mortal human being.
I adore the scene where Isabelle looks up at crucifix-it felt desperate. Like she was begging to be seen, forgiven, HEARD, as the words could not dare to come out, scared to be misunderstood.
