Isabelle Adjani’s performance—particularly the infamous subway scene—is legendary. It’s a raw, disturbing look at the "possession" we try to exert over our partners.
A young girl buys an antique wooden box at a yard sale, unaware it contains a dybbuk —a malicious spirit from Jewish folklore. As her behavior turns violent and bizarre, her father must seek an exorcism.
If you prefer your drama in the form of a "book-lover's detective story," this Booker Prize-winning novel is a must-read.
