History

Historical Context

Zulawski’s 1981 psychological horror Possession, shot beside the Berlin Wall and debuting at the 34th Cannes Festival where Isabelle Adjani won Best Actress, cost $2.4 million and earned mixed reviews before becoming a cult classic and video-nasties ban target. The film’s Cold-War metaphor now underpins Paramount’s 2027 remake, produced by Robert Pattinson’s Icki Eneo Arlo and Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment.
