31 DAY PERFORMANCE CHALLENGE: DAY #1 :Acting Performance Reminder: ISABELLE ADJANI (Possession 1981) The eternally fabulous Isabelle Adjani delivers a terrifyingly performance for the ages in Possession. The physicality required to pull off the feat of the dual roles is an exhausting task to pull off and Adjani is more than up to the task. The role of Anna in particular is one filled with landmines and despite the temptation of going over the top, Adjani manages to calibrate her performance in an adept way. The brilliance in Adjanis performance lies in her ability to terrorize your psyche in every scene without ever falling off the edge and losing the essence of humanity in her characters. She strikes fear in you and in return its empathy you give to her. The film serves as a letter to the world as a reminder as to why shes one of the great actors of her generation.
