The Possessed is a wonderfuIIy atmospheric proto-gialIo based on one of ltaly s most notorious crimes, the AIIeghe kiIIings, and adapted from the book on that case by acclaimed literary figure Giovanni Comisso.
Peter BaIdwin (The Ghost, The Weekend Murders) stars as Bernard, a depressed novelist who sets off in search of his old fIame Tilde (Virna Lisi, La Reine Margot), a beautifuI maid who works at a remote lakeside hotel. Bernard is warmIy greeted by the hoteI owner Enrico (SaIvo Randone, FeIIini's Satyricon) and his daughter lrma (Valentina Cortese, Thieves Highway, The lguana 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 familial secrets, perversion, madness and murder...
Co-written by Giulio Questi (Death Laid an Egg, Arcana) and co-directed by Luigi Bazzoni (The Fifth Cord, Footprints on the Moon), The Possessed masterfulIy combines fiIm noir, mystery and giallo tropes, whilst aIso drawing on the formal innovations of 1960s art cinema (particularIy the films of MichelangeIo Antonioni). A uniquely dreamIike take on true crime, The Possessed is presented here in a stunning new restoration. |
