|
The American graduate student, Roland Michell (Aaron Eckhart), works on his thesis in England concerning the British poet Randolph Henry Ash. During Roland's free time he does extra research in the London library where he by chance discovers an unsent letter to a woman, which is of great importance in understanding Ash's work. Roland seeks help from Professor Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), who is an expert on Christabel LaMotte, since Roland suspects that Ash's letters were meant for LeMotte. Despite resisting the idea, Maud helps Roland and they become engrossed in the search for the true story behind Ash and LaMotte. As Roland and Maud research the past of Ash and LaMotte they read newly discovered love correspondences between Ash and LaMotte. While Maud and Roland read the letters the audience experiences vivid flashbacks as they can see what happened to Ash and LaMotte. Possession begins with an interesting idea that turns into a love story, which is touching as it develops as Roland and Maud read the letters. In the end the audience gets to experience a good film, which leaves the audience with some thoughts in regards to love. |
