Is this movie American


I'm an Aussie, and was just wondering if the movie was made in America. If not in America do you guys know what country it was made in? And if it did well at the box office?

Been trying to find the movie at video shops, but having a hard time.

No !
To see what country this movie was made in, go to the IMDB page for this movie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0082933/
and scroll down to the section of information below the Cast. It shows that the movie was filmed in "France / West Germany". If you follow the link for the director who is Ukranian by birth - he seems to live mainly in Poland or France. All the cast is non-American ( Sam Neill is from New Zealand).

Thanks for that netrapture, much appreciated.

I knew Sam was from New Zealand, been a big fan of his for about 25 years now.

Hey Aussie! The complete 123 minute cut of Possession is available in australia through Umbrella entertainment. Very hard to find in retail shops, I think it is to 'obscure' for them, but, like me, you can order it through Umbrella's website. Very nice pal transfer too!

It was shot in Berlin. Didn't you see the wall and the lack of anything American?

Sam was born in Northern Ireland btw.

Yes I read years ago that Sam was born in Ireland; but lives in New Zealand.

Us Aussies adopted him years ago lol, as he has done alot of Australian movies, and did an Australian soapie (The Sullivans) about 30 years ago.

Thanks for the info, and you're right I should have noticed the wall..........how embarrassing lmao.
