When Andrzej Żuławski’s “Possession” had its world premiere at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, it became, with the possible exception of the European

debut of “Heaven’s Gate,” the most controversial of that year’s entries. The film also earned Isabelle Adjani, along with her work in James Ivory’s

“Quartet,” the prize for Best Actress. However, when it was released in Europe, "Possession" was not a box-office success and would make the notorious

list of so-called “video nasties” that were banned in the United Kingdom because of their supposedly harmful content. In America, its reception was even

worse—it wouldn’t be released for another two years and when it was, it was dumped just before Halloween with a third of its running time removed in an

attempt to make it resemble a straightforward horror item, inspiring mostly terrible reviews from the few critics who bothered to look at it. (=懶得看)

當著魔於1981年首映於坎城影展(Cannes Film Festival)，除了天堂之門 (Heaven's Gate)首映外，其成為年度最具爭議性質參賽作品。曾出演過James Ivory的 電影 「四奏 Quartet(1981) 」 Isabelle Adjani於該片也獲得最佳女演員。但於著魔電影上映時不賣座且被稱為臭名昭彰的最討厭作品，因此被英國禁演，因為他們據稱有害的內容。在美國這部電影的接納度更為糟糕，直到兩年後當這部電影在萬聖節上映前夕，刪去1/3 部分為了看起來更加簡單純粹型態的恐怖上映，也僅有少數評論者觀看之。

But the notoriety surrounding the film ensured that a cult would develop around it over the years, even in America, where the full-length version

eventually turned up at repertory screenings and occasional showings on TCM. Now, to mark the film’s 40th anniversary, a new 4K restoration is here.

To watch "Possession" again is to realize that it remains one of the most grueling, powerful, and overwhelmingly intense cinematic experiences that you

are likely to have in your lifetime. 

過去幾十年，這部評諭不佳的電影更是由邪教概念刻劃並瀰漫整部片，甚至在美國上映的版本，由全長版最終變成輪演或在TCM上的偶然播放片。現在為了為慶祝著魔的40周年電影，製作出4k版復刻版。為了再次看到著魔，去了瞭解是最艱難、力量、突破性強度的電影可能是你此生難忘的體驗。
