As long, painful, confusing and pretentious as On The Silver Globe is, it's breathtaking and, in my opinion, perhaps the most Metal film of all time.

I was going to cite that film as my answer. Nice to see its in the second post. Yeah, Possession is pretty much a nightmare put on film, and I love every moment of it.
