Bizarre. Brutal. Unforgettable. Andrzej Zulawski’s 1981 classic.
Mark (Sam Neill) is a spy who returns home to West Berlin from a mission to discover that his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani) is seeing another man. After Mark hires a private detective to follow Anna to expose her infidelity, the horrors that are uncovered are far worse than anyone could imagine.
"Although it's easy to see why it was pigeonholed as a horror film, its first half presents what is still one of the most viscerally vivid portraits of a disintegrating relationship yet committed to film, comfortably rivalling Lars von Trier's Antichrist, David Cronenberg's The Brood and Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage."
