: Possession
Interesting film I knew nothing about. It’s set modern day with an American researcher in England studying the life of a poet who died 140 years earlier. He comes across a startling revelation — that the chaste poet who’s famous for his love poems to his beloved wife — might have had an unknown mistress. His research leads him on a sort of detective’s journey, trying to solve a 140-year-old mystery, restracing the steps of the poet and deciphering clues in his poems and those of his mistress. It’s a bit clunky at times, but surpisingly good at others, and though, in the end, the mystery’s not all that mysterious or exciting, it makes for a decent film. Thumbs up from me.
