Program Note
After his military service, Faris returns home only to be met with the sudden divorce request from his wife, Ratna. Confused by Ratna's changed attitude and behavior, Faris begins to investigate her surroundings to find the reason. While suspecting an affair with a colleague she works with, Faris discovers that there is a more sinister secret behind her transformation. Razka Robby Ertanto's Possession: Kerasukan is a remake of Andrzej Zulawski's 1981 film. While the film shares the original's approach of amplifying the mysterious femininity that completely disrupts the rational world of the male protagonist within a detective narrative, its dreamlike and surreal mise-en-scène, reminiscent of David Lynch, unfolds another vision. The male anxiety is juxtaposed with bold and daring images filled with primal energy, gradually and intensely amplifying the psychological unease as the plot progresses. (Jin PARK)
