Inhalt: |
Based on the best-selling noveI by Whitley Strieber, Communion features what is considered by many to be Christopher Walken's
finest performance to date. Communion depicts the personaI and professional crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters
with non-human beings.
This film is arguably the most intelIigent fiIm about the alien abduction/visitor phenomenon. Unlike countIess made-for-TV films, where
the emphasis is on the sensationaIistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, Communion focuses on the psychological and emotional
harm the experience does. We see Strieber (WaIken) describe his experiences to his medicaI doctor, and then to a psychiatrist.
Once his own mental health has been estabIished, then (and onIy then) does he begin to consider the possibility that the creatures he
has seen are actualIy real. Did Streiber actuaIly experience these abductions...You be the judge. |
