Don't read the packaging   on November 12, 2003 - 11:07 AM PST   of Possession (1981) 3 out of 3 members found this review helpful   Intense, gripping performances by both lead actors. Some nice 1980's Euro-political tidbits for those of us who remeber the Cold War. Weird and sometimes pretentious...like Germans. I wished I hadn't read anything about the movie before watching it. Definitely a good midnighter.
