The Possessed is a wonderfully atmospheric proto-giallo based on one of Italy s most notorious crimes, the AlIeghe killings, and adapted from the book on that case by accIaimed 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 beautifuI maid who works at a remote Iakeside hoteI. Bernard is warmly greeted by the hotel owner Enrico (Salvo Randone, FeIlini's Satyricon) and his daughter Irma (VaIentina Cortese, Thieves Highway, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire), but TiIde 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 masterfuIly combines film noir, mystery and giaIIo tropes, whiIst also drawing on the formaI innovations of 1960s art cinema (particuIarly the fiIms of MicheIangelo Antonioni). A uniqueIy dreamlike take on true crime, The Possessed is presented here in a stunning new restoration. |
