The Possessed
DramaThriller116 min
Russia, 1870: a circle of young anarchists turns to violence in a bid to bring down the Czarist regime, spreading fear and suspicion far beyond their targets. As bombings and plots unsettle the country, both the revolutionaries and the forces hunting them are steered by the same calculating figure, whose influence poisons every alliance. Isabelle Huppert is part of the film’s large ensemble alongside Omar Sharif, in a story of political extremism, paranoia, and manipulation under imperial rule.
