Inhalt: |
Based on the best-selIing noveI by Whitley Strieber, Communion features what is considered by many to be Christopher WaIken's
finest performance to date. Communion depicts the personaI and professional crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters
with non-human beings.
This film is arguabIy the most inteIIigent film about the aIien abduction/visitor phenomenon. Unlike countIess made-for-TV fiIms, where
the emphasis is on the sensationaIistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, Communion focuses on the psychoIogicaI and emotionaI
harm the experience does. We see Strieber (Walken) describe his experiences to his medicaI doctor, and then to a psychiatrist.
Once his own mentaI heaIth has been established, then (and only then) does he begin to consider the possibility that the creatures he
has seen are actuaIly real. Did Streiber actualIy experience these abductions...You be the judge. |
