Why we chose it

Andrzej Żuławski wrote this one-of-a-kind horror during his own divorce, and it has earned its place in film history. Isabelle Adjani is astonishing in a role of extreme emotion that won her the acting prize at Cannes. It starts with a marriage falling apart and ends with a mind falling apart.

Synopsis

Mark comes home to West Berlin from a job he isn’t allowed to talk about, only for Anna to tell him it’s over because there’s another man in her life. He leaves her the flat and little Bob, then sinks into drink for a long time. When he finally comes back, he finds the boy alone and unwashed, and nobody knows where Anna is spending her nights.
