The Brood
What was, until The Shrouds (2024), David Cronenberg’s most overtly autobiographical film, The Brood (1979) chronicles the bitter termination of the marriage of Frank (Art Hindle) and Nola (Samantha Eggar) and the accompanying battle over custody of their young daughter.
Possession
Everything is either fractured or in the process of splitting apart. It is the final decade of the Cold War, and Mark (Sam Neill), a spy, returns to West Berlin, the more prosperous, though eerily vacant, half of a divided city, where his wife, Anna (Isabelle Adjani), is inexplicably asking for a divorce.
