About this product

Product Information

Set in both contemporary and Victorian England, POSSESSION, directed by Neil LaBute, is based on the novel by A.S. Byatt. The tale begins with Roland Michell (Aaron Eckhart), a laid-back American studying the renowned Victorian poet Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam) on a fellowship. When Roland discovers what may be a love letter from Ash, a supposedly devoted husband, to the reclusive poet Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle), he recognizes that he's on to a big literary discovery. Enlisting the help of skeptical British academic Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), Roland embarks on journey to discover more about the link between the two revered poets. As Roland and Maud track Ash and LaMotte's elusive romance across the British countryside, the two scholars begin a relationship of their own.<BR>Although this film presents a kinder, gentler LaBute--who is known for emotionally caustic movies such as IN THE COMPANY OF MEN and YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS--POSSESSION still focuses on the relationships between men and women with skillful attention. Paltrow reprises her convincing British accent from films such as SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and SLIDING DOORS, while Northam and Ehle lend gravity to their Victorian characters. However, it's Eckhart, a longtime LaBute collaborator, who proves to be the film's heart and soul; his relaxed yet complex personality grounds both the movie and its two intertwined stories. As the two tales progress, the relationships between the characters wax and wane, leading to an ending with a surprising twist.

  • I highly intelligent literary romance

    POSSESSION Neil La Bute 2002 **** This story is based on a 1990 novel by A S Byatt of the same name concerning 2 fictional 19C poets who are being researched by a number of contemporary literati and academics, in particular Aaron Eckhardt as a young American research graduate, and Gwyneth Paltrow as an English provincial university lecturer, These two eventually meet in the course of investigating diaries, letter, etc. of the 2 19C poets and lovers. La Bute very nicely merges time present with time past. The whole thing is convincingly done with accurate locations; shots such as Lincoln, the British Museum, the London Library. The whole thing is handled delicately and with great taste. I particularly like that though this is a romance albeit about literati or academics, the course of ...

  • A good one!

    A great movie that I had never heard of before. The two main characters follow a 19th century authors trail of love letters between him and his mistress. Some great locations filmed in England too!

  • Vaguely entertaining

    Entertaining but nowhere near as good (and very different from) the Booker prize novel on which it was very loosely based.
