Possession (1981)

Jesus Christ. This film could have really been something if it had made any sense at any point of its running time. It's all surely supposed to be meaningful in some way; if you can figure out what that meaning is, e-mail me immediately. Andrezj Zulawski, the director, is either very confused or legitimately insane, but one thing's for sure -- he has zero skill with actors. Reining in the excrutiatingly broad performances here would have gone a long way to keeping this from being the wretched failure that it is.

Grade: D
