I remember reading about this film in Film Comment a couple of years ago (it was part of an article about Andrzej Zulawski). It sounded absolutely fascinating and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to see the film with english subtitles.

"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent." - Ludwig Wittgenstein
You are seeing a snowstorm. Your receiver is cycling through frequencies but is unable to lock into the correct channel. Your unit is applying 180% unsharp masks to everything it receives. You have consumed too much wine. Your goggles are misted up. You have concussion.
This is what most versions of the Silver Globe look like. Badly drawn SAT3.
Does anyone out there have a good version?
I saw the article in ZOOM #19 (1982) and the still shots were sumptuous. The story is explained [2 parts Old & New Testaments & 3rd Part is Ironic Commentary] but the poor immages and interference on the superhappy DVD make it difficult to appreciate. It is as if you are in an underground movement getting poor quality samisdatz and have to interpret the message. I am not a solidifian.
Is it completely lost or is there a decent copy out there?
The copy of it that I got from SuperHappyFun didn't look anything like that, it was great picture and really watchable, not 100% perfect, but good quality.
It has a English voice over, so there's one guy doing all the characters voices in English. I've never come across a subtitled version.
Great film, well worth watching, looks amazing.
hi im from australia and possession is the only flim of Andrzej Zulawski available, i really want to see this film, and his many others, but i can't find any available on dvd, either english dub or subtitles, would you know where to look for his other films? thank you
shareAs of 8 Nov. 2007, there's an excellent copy on eMule, with excellent separate subtitles. Seacrh for 'Na srebrnym globie DVDRip DF' (don't include the quotes). It's divided into two CD-sized files, with two corresponding srt subtitles. Merge it all together with mkvmerge & save to a disc, watch on a computer. Or convert to DVD with ConvertxtoDVD, burn, & watch on monitor, projector, etc.
