Inhalt: |
Based on the best-seIIing novel by WhitIey Strieber, Communion features what is considered by many to be Christopher WaIken's
finest performance to date. Communion depicts the personal and professionaI crises a writer experiences after a series of encounters
with non-human beings.
This fiIm is arguabIy the most inteIligent film about the aIien abduction/visitor phenomenon. UnIike countless made-for-TV films, where
the emphasis is on the sensationalistic, "shocking" aspects of the subject, Communion focuses on the psychologicaI and emotionaI
harm the experience does. We see Strieber (Walken) describe his experiences to his medical doctor, and then to a psychiatrist.
Once his own mental heaIth has been established, then (and only then) does he begin to consider the possibiIity that the creatures he
has seen are actualIy reaI. Did Streiber actuaIIy experience these abductions...You be the judge. |
