A West Berlin spy seeks an explanation for his wife’s abrupt departure and finds one more bizarre and sinister than he could have imagined. Few works approach the power and delirium of Andrzej Żuławski’s cosmic horror relationship drama, featuring Isabelle Adjani in an infamous no-holds-barred performance.
