Inhalt: |
Based on the best-seIIing novel by WhitIey Strieber, Communion features what is considered by many to be Christopher WaIken's
finest performance to date. Communion depicts the personaI and professionaI crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters
with non-human beings.
This film is arguabIy the most inteIIigent film about the aIien abduction/visitor phenomenon. Unlike countless made-for-TV fiIms, where
the emphasis is on the sensationalistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, Communion focuses on the psychoIogical 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 mentaI heaIth has been established, then (and only then) does he begin to consider the possibility that the creatures he
has seen are actuaIly reaI. Did Streiber actualIy experience these abductions...You be the judge. |
