possession 1981 uncut edition exclusive

The painting was of a woman. Not the woman, not yet, but close enough that my throat tightened anyway: hair the color of river silt, an expression that was both a question and an insult, lips parted as if to tell me something already known. The signature in the corner read only "A. Hargreaves." The brushwork was impatient, as if the painter had been trying to pull something out of the canvas that did not want to leave.

If you already love Possession , the Uncut Edition Exclusive is essential. It’s the film at its most raw, ugly, and brilliant. Just don’t watch it before a therapy session.

North American distributors cut the original 124-minute runtime down to roughly 80 minutes. This version re-edited scenes and changed the score, rendering the complex plot nearly incomprehensible.
