The cool blue color was mixed with the devil's brown liquid, and the roar buried deep in the ground couldn't hide the attractive luster of his eyes. Extremely crazy and extremely charming, falling in love with this woman is like drinking a glass of strong wine. After the fire burns my heart, there is a dangerous desire spread. Isabella Adjani, only her beauty can break through the seal of eighteen years, after being banned for many years, she is still captivating and enchanting.
"Possessed", Andrei Zulaski's most controversial banned film, incorporates his childhood fears and most bizarre ideas, using a couple's love and killing to tell the devilish nature of the essence of intimacy .
Two women, one named Anna and one named Helen. One is married, exhausted, and has been captured by the devil, and the other is eager for love, full of vitality, and is about to open the door for the devil. They seem to cover all the breadth and depth of a woman who has fallen into a love madness. They fall into this sweet hell. Only when there is no one will they kneel on the ground and let out a shocking roar.
The enchanted Anna was wearing a blue dress and big blue eyes. She was always afraid of the devil from where. In a lonely house watched by a distant sentinel, even in the face of her beloved husband, she couldn't reveal her heart. She is a silent and sad wife, a helpless and dazed mother.
However, it was she who murdered and hid corpses in the refrigerator; it was she who trembled and foamed at the mouth in the subway station; it was she who had sex with the devil, painful and crazy. All this is the fear of inferiority in the long married life - I am afraid that you will no longer love me, I am afraid that I will no longer be worthy of being loved, so I will make a deal with the devil and create a you.
What kind of Adjani is this, showing the helplessness and bewilderment to the fullest, and in her eyes holding the sharp knife, there is such a weak panic. Did her husband really not love her? He gave up work for her, fell into confusion for her, hid the truth for her, set fire to the building for her, and in the end what he got in return was an identical, calm and complete self. Fear and time, a thick glass was erected between the two, and the frightened expression on the other's face could be seen clearly, no matter whether they shouted or whispered, they were speechless.
The second Anna, Helen, has golden hair and soft eyes, she is sunny and gentle, she is neither paranoid nor crazy, but she cannot make a man who has fallen in love with Anna fall in love with another. What an ideal marriage partner Helen is, and still retains naive and poetic fantasies. But no one knows what will happen at the end of the film when she opens that door with a smile. That weird but charming cloned husband might turn into another Wolonsky, leaving another woman to break down completely in suspicion, anxiety, crankiness and inability to communicate, and once again buried in the mud of love.
When two people who deeply love each other feel inferior to each other, blame themselves, suspect, and cannot communicate with each other, both parties may have such illusions, wanting to start over and rebuild each other. She is fragile and sensitive. A moment of hesitation and indifference will make her worry about whether he doesn't love her enough. A man is hesitant and helpless. How should he communicate with her, how should he restrain his anger and let her understand? In the deepest love, in the most intimate relationship, when two people are most seamlessly integrated into one, it may be the time when they have to reject each other and separate. What was once an oath turned into a shackle over time. Perhaps what Possessed is about to tell about the estrangement and contradiction that cannot be resolved. Milan Kundera said, "The time of human beings does not revolve, but moves in a straight line. This is the reason why human beings cannot be happy, because happiness is the desire for repetition." The devil is the embodiment of repeated desire.
That year, Adjani was twenty-six years old, and she became the truly obsessed Anna that Andrei Zulaski had searched all over Europe. Three minutes of madness in a subway station is a great forbidden zone in film history, intertwined with extreme beauty and ugliness. Her body is green and white liquid mixed with red blood, and her roar is the real cry of the devil from hell. Only Adjani, wearing that blue dress that has never been changed, is still maddeningly beautiful, the ugliest devil confronts the purest desire, and the rest is the helpless moan and emptiness of fate.
Throughout Adjani's acting career, she has a fateful connection with so many beautiful and "crazy" women. "Crazy Demon" is the release of the purest love and desire, and the desire to preserve a sincere self and freedom. She is Adele Hugo, who is crazy for love and reckless. "There are thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of rivers, thousands of mountains, to meet you, such a thing, only I can do it."; She is wearing a blue dress in Paris in ruins Queen Margot, who is looking for a lover on the street, holds her lover's head, her eyes are full of tears, and she has the saddest and most moving smile; she is Camille Claudel, who spent her whole life sculpting infatuated love, exchanging her fate for the void as a bet, Be a lonely ghost in the wilderness; she is Emily Brontë, the eternal wandering of the moor, cries of holly in her arms, "Love is the wild rose of summer, withering in winter, I despise it, I spurn it , to his love and pomp."
These women, these great lunatics, were reborn in light and shadow through her face and body, and Isabel Adjani, who also forged their lives with her own blood and soul.
