Half is God, the other half is you

At first, I thought this was an ethical film about the crisis of middle-class families.
Mark, who had just returned from work, had a depressing quarrel with his wife Anna. Through the dialogue between the two, we know that Anna had been unfaithful to Mark because Mark had to live with Anna due to work. life. Infidelity is an eternal rift between husband and wife, and this relationship is on the verge of destruction because of this rift. Obviously, both Mark and Anna wanted to save this marriage, so they tried to calmly explore the root cause of the problem. The next day, Mark quit his job. After returning home, he found that Anna was missing. After searching, he found a postcard written to his wife by a man named Henry. He wrote "At this moment, I see half of God's face, and the other half is you." , He understood that this man was the instigator of this turmoil. Mark goes to Henry, but learns that Anna is not with Henry, and Henry is also looking for Anna, who is often missing.
Anna Yomak went to the coffee shop to discuss matters related to separation. The two had a fierce quarrel for the first time, and both of them were crazy as if they were about to kill each other. Since then, the relationship between Mark and Anna has taken a turn for the worse. Anna’s disappearance has become more frequent and her behavior has become more and more weird. Whenever Mark wanted to question the reason and whereabouts of his wife’s changes, Anna always responded in an overwhelming manner. She shed tears, tugging her hair and repeating "Don’t force me, don’t force me", as if she didn’t mean it. To hurt this relationship, it was an irresistible force that guided her to do so.
Does Anna have a secret lover besides Henry? Is it just that simple? Please, this is Andrei Zulaski.
The confused Mark asked a private detective to investigate Anna's whereabouts, and he found that she had a residence in an old building on the corner of the street. Then the detective lost track of her. Afterwards, the detective’s gay lover found here in the footsteps of his lover, and there was no more news. This room is like a monster’s huge mouth, with the ability to swallow everything. The third visitor was Henry, who came to ask for reconciliation but opened the door to hell. Here, he found two bags full of corpses, a refrigerator stuffed with severed limbs and skulls, and a tentacles. A monster covered in slime, and Anna took care of this monster like her own child, providing it with flesh and blood. This is Anna's secret. She is a woman picked by the devil and gave birth to the devil's child.
Henry, who survived after being attacked by Anna, called to tell Mark of his discovery, but was killed in the toilet room of the bar by Mark who rushed over. Witnessing his wife's copulation with the devil, the beloved Mark decides to help his wife cover up her crazy crimes. Mark blew up the old corner house full of corpses and attacked the police in an attempt to disturb the line of sight. When she was about to die, Anna finally showed up with her devil, and the devil she created had the same appearance as her own. .

After being banned for 18 years, "Obsessed" revealed the mystery with absolute fable and forward-looking. Adjani even won Cannes and Kaiser trophies in one fell swoop with the enchanted role of Anna. The reason why the film was banned is probably not only because of the shocking images and images (it was cut for 47 minutes when it was screened in the United States), but also because of the deeper political | That's why).
The word “dubbed” is really suitable for Andrei Zulaski. People who like him love the wonderful metaphors and symbols under his lens, the obscure confession that has nothing to do with the plot, and he is particularly good at creating. The depressing, cool-toned scene. People who hate him think that he is utterly silly and mysterious, and tells some crazy stories that normal people don’t understand. The most damning thing is that he always likes to torture the big beauties under his lens, watching the goddesses of the past are like silt. Foaming in his filth, twisting and twitching, is this a favorite of the masses, or is it a direct cause of the destruction of sexual fantasies?

"Obsessed", also known as "Infatuation", Mark is obsessed with Anna, and Anna is obsessed with Mark, but the Mark who obsessed Anna is the one she created that will not betray and will not leave her. Crazy possession and thirst for love without dignity and restriction give the devil an opportunity. Just like the theme of the famous novel game "Hell Moon Madness", infatuation in the depths is an enchantment. When a sweet love affair develops to its extreme, its forced interruption often brings power from hell.
Human beings are fragile, because human beings have feelings, feelings, and they are the biggest bargaining chip in our hands. In countless tragedies, people have put all their chips out, hoping to be rewarded, and when feelings are always returned to disappointment, madness arises. Anna's good nature has become the devil's most powerful weapon to tempt the world, because most of the kind people are weak.
"I love you, I am afraid of losing you, so I want to create another you." This is probably the whole motivation of Anna's crazy behavior. This film, if it weren't for Ajani, would become like "Shamanism". Can't go down. Adjani portrays a desperate woman who is trapped in morals and emotions and has nowhere to escape. At first, she is a weak posture of being unable to deal with feelings. There are always tears in her eyes, and then as the devil grows. , Her eyes gradually became fierce and crazy, and one look was enough to make people retreat from fear. She used a chainsaw to cut her neck without hesitation, "It doesn't hurt". Lovers trapped in the abyss of love can't feel the pain. In front of the crucified Jesus, she groaned with a delicate face full of enduring pain, but when the camera turned, she was twitching and wriggling in the quagmire of eggs and milk. She bleeds, vomited, and slammed herself into the wall. The evil forces in her were looking for an exit but no one could hear her. Except for Adjani, no one can guarantee that her beauty will not be compromised under such torture, except for her. Similarly, apart from Zulaski, no one can control such a weird script. No one can grasp the moment when the actor seals the magic with such precision. If there is anything that can overcome madness, it is madness itself.

The messy home, the clothes and dishes that weren't in the refrigerator, the empty old house, the damp walls and the ground, hidden monsters in the dark that couldn't see the whole picture. Mark shook his body back and forth, and Annie constantly fiddled with her hands as if to shake off some invisible shackles. Their distressed expressions were magnified in the close-up until the distortion gave people a strong sense of discomfort.
In Zulaski’s lens, the world is full of elements of instability, where women may become a weapon for murder at any time, but at the same time, women are weak and are manipulated by fate. In the movie, Anna said "yes" and "no" the most. She could only face the fierce questioning with this most passive answer. When she returned home, she wanted to leave, and then left. Home, and thinking about going, no matter which party she is with, she is tortured by the guilt of the other party, and her destiny is now out of her control. Similarly, in "Shamanism", the heroine hurriedly walked on the road to various places as a sprinter from beginning to end. She was lured by the cult and lost the initiative to control her behavior. In "My Night Is More Beautiful Than Your Day", Sophie Marceau is able to know fate, but still can't escape the mercy of fate.

At the end of the film, the devil with Mark’s appearance knocked on Anna’s door, and the one who was about to greet him was Helen, who had a face similar to Anna, and Helen, at this moment, was gradually falling into a whirlpool of emotions that she could not desire. Is it the next Anna to be tempted? Certainly, when the person you love stands at the door, whether he is a god or a devil, you will be unable to resist the urge to open the door.
"At this moment I see half of God's face", and the other half may be the devil or you.

    Plus in the mouth of madness, Sam Neill is the best actor in this genre. Adjani is incomparable when she is beautiful, she is desperate to go crazy, and the actress deserves her name.

    I will never forget the "Dancing of the Devil" that Adjani was in the subway tunnel without going crazy!
