Tasya Vos is an elite agent for a shady enterprise. Thanks to a brain implant she—or rather, her consciousness—slips into the bodies of others to commit contract killings. Each hit, however, leaves large scars in her psyche, and Tasya has an increasingly harder time finding back to her own identity. And then she suddenly gets “caught” in a different body—with fatal consequences. Possessor marks Brandon Cronenberg’s definitive emancipation from the work of his famous father. Here he offers a radical sci-fi thriller—a disturbing piece of cinema with philosophical underpinnings. (mk)
