In this week’s long review, Ben Sachs ponders the national origins of Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession, screening at Gene Siskel Film Center for the first time in Chicago in its original, 127-minute cut. We also have a Reader Recommends box for Richard Linklater’s Bernie, with Jack Black as a beloved small-town character who murders a rich widow, and a sidebar for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, also at Film Center, which includes the Paul Simon music documentary Under African Skies.
