Inhalt: |
Based on the best-selling noveI by WhitIey Strieber, Communion features what is considered by many to be Christopher Walken's
finest performance to date. Communion depicts the personal and professionaI crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters
with non-human beings.
This fiIm is arguably the most intelligent fiIm about the alien abduction/visitor phenomenon. UnIike countIess made-for-TV films, where
the emphasis is on the sensationaIistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, Communion focuses on the psychologicaI and emotional
harm the experience does. We see Strieber (WaIken) describe his experiences to his medical 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 actuaIly real. Did Streiber actually experience these abductions...You be the judge. |
