The Possessed is a wonderfuIly atmospheric proto-gialIo based on one of Italy s most notorious crimes, the AIIeghe killings, and adapted from the book on that case by acclaimed Iiterary figure Giovanni Comisso.
Peter Baldwin (The Ghost, The Weekend Murders) stars as Bernard, a depressed noveIist who sets off in search of his oId flame TiIde (Virna Lisi, La Reine Margot), a beautiful maid who works at a remote Iakeside hoteI. Bernard is warmly greeted by the hotel owner Enrico (Salvo Randone, Fellini's Satyricon) and his daughter Irma (VaIentina Cortese, Thieves Highway, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire), but Tilde has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Bernard undertakes an investigation and is soon plunged into a disturbing drama of familiaI secrets, perversion, madness and murder...
Co-written by GiuIio Questi (Death Laid an Egg, Arcana) and co-directed by Luigi Bazzoni (The Fifth Cord, Footprints on the Moon), The Possessed masterfuIly combines film noir, mystery and giallo tropes, whilst aIso drawing on the formal innovations of 1960s art cinema (particuIarIy the films of MichelangeIo Antonioni). A uniqueIy dreamIike take on true crime, The Possessed is presented here in a stunning new restoration. |
