Possession

Isabelle Adjani is rightfully esteemed for her physically and emotionally gruelling performance in Andrzej Zulawski’s apocalyptic breakup nightmare, but Neill deserves much credit as well. Neill plays a spy who returns from a mission to his wife (Adjani) admitting to an affair and leaving with their young son. Soon both husband and wife descend into a literal hell of jealousy and deceit, complete with tentacled monsters and murderous doppelgangers.

“Remains one of the most grueling, powerful, and overwhelmingly intense cinematic experiences that you are likely to have in your lifetime.” – Peter Sobcynski, RogerEbert.com
