Possession

I have to admit it took quite some time to both process everything and to truly let it marinate as well as for me to attempt decoding and interpreting whatever the hell this was. After forming my own views and opinions and possible meanings of this movie I quickly flocked to in depth video essays as I simply could not get enough. This is one of those movies that when it clicks... that shit CLICKS. Isabelle Adjani is truly a force to be reckoned with and derserves so much more praise for this role worldwide as she wholeheartedly delved into it resulting in 2 years of therapy and my God was it worth it for this amazingly stellar performance. I will simultaneously forever admire the director's ability to somehow create a story in which the heavy politics at the time featured are craftily interwoven into this story of the failures and unhealthy cycles of love and toxicity in an allegorical sense. Even the camera work further helps elevate this story fantastically. This truly is an amazing piece on feminine rage, the contradictions of mother hood, putting your faith and beliefs into the hands of a false higher power or intelligentsia and well... possession (if you know you know)
