Uncomfortable Brunch is back at Sun-Ray Cinema on Saturday, October 4, with a screening of Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession (1981)—a film that’s as wild, unnerving, and unforgettable as anything you’ll ever see on a big screen. On the surface, it’s about a marriage falling apart. Sam Neill plays Mark, a husband trying to make sense of his wife Anna’s erratic behavior. But Isabelle Adjani takes the film somewhere else entirely—her performance is raw, feral, and absolutely unhinged, turning a story about divorce into a full-on descent into madness.
Possession is famous for scenes that make audiences squirm, none more so than Adjani’s infamous subway breakdown, a moment so intense it almost feels dangerous to watch. Then there’s the creature lurking in the shadows, brought to life by effects legend Carlo Rambaldi, blurring the line between body horror and metaphor.
Possession isn’t just a movie—it’s an ordeal, and seeing it with a crowd makes it all the more unforgettable.
1981, 124 minutes, France & Germany, Directed by Andrzej Żuławski, Not Rated
