english:
cinema that mentally exhausts you.
the story presented in 'possession' is, above all, an intense and challenging cinematic exercise, a psychological journey that keeps the viewer in constant tension. andrzej żuławski's direction demonstrates absolute command of the medium, taking each scene to a level of intensity rarely seen in contemporary cinema, with an admirable ability to blend the dramatic with the disturbing in an organic way.
the settings are one of the film's strongest points. from the very first moment, they capture attention, completely immersive and perfectly coherent with the story's environment, reinforcing the atmosphere without being the film's main focus. visually, the film is up to the standards of its time, with effects that do not leave a bad impression and contribute to the viewer's immersion at all times. the staging is bold and sometimes disorienting, leaving the audience with an ambiguous feeling, as if facing something deliberately strange or unexpected in the visual narrative, which intensifies the tension and fascination.
regarding the performances, isabelle adjani delivers an intense performance, which at times may seem exaggerated, but is understood as part of the director's vision. at the same time, other actors achieve an almost impeccable solidity, supporting the film's most delicate moments and giving credibility to a complex and deeply psychological script. the dialogues are dense and occasionally hard to follow, exploring universal themes and offering layers of interpretation that invite reflection.
it is important to highlight that 'possession' is mentally exhausting and deliberately disorienting. those who criticize the understanding of a film of this style are people who do not deserve to watch it; they fail to value it for what it truly is. the narrative complexity, the surreal elements, and the emotional intensity are integral parts of its artistic and psychological proposal.
the music accompanies each scene with almost surgical precision, intensifying the emotional experience and reinforcing the film's unsettling atmosphere. all of this contributes to a work that, although unconventional, proves to be a masterful example of psychological cinema, with excellently constructed characters and a high-level production that surpasses any initial impression of chaos or extravagance.
in short, 'possession' is a film that challenges the viewer, both in form and content, and deserves to be seen and appreciated as an essential work of modern cinema.
spanish:
cine que te agota mentalmente.
la historia que nos propone 'possession' es, ante todo, un ejercicio cinematográfico intenso y desafiante, un viaje psicológico que mantiene al espectador en constante tensión. la dirección de andrzej żuławski demuestra un control absoluto del medio, llevando cada escena a un nivel de intensidad pocas veces visto en el cine contemporáneo, con una capacidad admirable para mezclar lo dramático con lo perturbador de manera orgánica.
los escenarios son uno de los puntos más fuertes de la película. desde el primer momento captan la atención, completamente inmersivos y perfectamente coherentes con el entorno de la historia, reforzando la atmósfera sin que esto sea el enfoque principal del filme. visualmente, la película está a la altura de su época, con efectos que no dejan mal sabor de boca y contribuyen a la inmersión del espectador en todo momento. la puesta en escena es audaz y a veces desconcertante, dejando al público con una sensación ambigua, como si estuviera frente a algo deliberadamente extraño o frente a resultados inesperados de la narrativa visual, lo que intensifica la tensión y la fascinación.
en cuanto a las actuaciones, isabelle adjani ofrece un trabajo intenso, que a ratos puede parecer exagerado, pero que se entiende como parte de la visión del director. al mismo tiempo, otros intérpretes logran una solidez casi impecable, sustentando los momentos más delicados de la película y otorgando credibilidad a un guion complejo y profundamente psicológico. los diálogos son densos y, en ocasiones, difíciles de seguir, explorando temas universales, ofreciendo capas de interpretación que invitan a la reflexión.
es importante destacar que 'possession' es mentalmente agotadora y deliberadamente desconcertante. quienes critican la comprensión de una película propio del estilo son gente que no merece ver la película; es no valorarla por lo que realmente es. la complejidad narrativa, lo surreal y la intensidad emocional son parte integral de su propuesta artística y psicológica.
la música acompaña cada escena con una precisión casi quirúrgica, intensificando la experiencia emocional y reforzando la atmósfera inquietante de la película. todo ello contribuye a una obra que, aunque poco convencional, se revela como un ejemplo magistral de cine psicológico, con personajes excelentemente construidos y una producción de notable nivel que supera cualquier impresión inicial de caos o extravagancia.
en definitiva, 'possession' es una película que desafía al espectador, tanto en su forma como en su contenido, y que merece ser vista y apreciada como una obra imprescindible del cine moderno.

There’s absolutely nothing worse (excuse the hyperbole) than reading the hype for a movie, sitting down to watch it, and muttering ‘huh’ as the credits role. An example? Possession. Andrzej Zulawski’s psychological nightmare of a movie certainly has its merits. First and foremost, Isabelle Adjani gives the performance of a lifetime as the shrieking victim of mental illness, including one scene that will forever be etched in the mind of the viewer. The cinematography and direction, although a bit over the top at times, is interesting, as is the story and the related themes. However, the editing can be jarring (especially in the second half), much of the acting and dialogue is wince-inducing, and the interior sound is often muffled and echoey. Possession is worth a watch, no doubt, but doesn’t necessarily live up to its reputation.

It has so much to say that it can be hard to understand at times, and that’s okay. However, when it comes to surrealism and excess, it lacks the finesse found in David Lynch’s films. The performances are outstanding and many scenes are iconic, but the film constantly risks overdoing everything, without offering any nuance to balance its intensity.

This was really bad. Overacting (what if the shining had 3 jack nicholsons in it?), not enough time with the creature which is creepy, and too much domestic drama.
