Movies like possession (1981)

Possession is a 1981 French-German psychological horror-drama film co-written and directed by Andrzej Żuławski and starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill. The plot obliquely follows the relationship between an international spy and his wife, who begins exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking him for a divorce.

Filmed in Berlin in 1980, the film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, where Adjani won the award for Best Actress for her performance. Possession was Żuławski's only English-language film. In recent years, it has developed a cult following.

Mark is a spy who returns home to Berlin from a mysterious espionage mission to find that his wife, Anna, wants a divorce. She won't say why, but insists it's not because she's found someone else. Mark reluctantly turns the apartment and custody of their young son, Bob, over to her. After recovering from a destructive bender, he pays a visit to their flat to find Bob alone, unkempt, and neglected. When Anna returns, he refuses to leave her alone with the child but attempts to make amends. He stays at the apartment to care for Bob but Anna leaves in the middle of the night.
