Possession

Possession Books, letters, artifacts, journals. They're the tools of a special group of detectives: literay scholars. Two such sleuths, Maud Bailey and Roland Mitchell, are on the trail of a mystery that will rewrite history's understanding of a pair of famed Victorian poets -- and may also awaken Maud and Roland's feelings for each other.

Love is of the mind as well as the heart when Gwyneth Paltrow portrays Maud and Aaron Eckhart plays Roland in a soaring version of A.S. Bryant's celebrated novel. Neil LaBute (Nurse Betty) directs, keeping his feet planted in dual eras as the story seamlessly shifts between modern and Victorian times. Jeremy Northam is iconic British poet laureate Randolph Ash. And Jennifer Ehle is the poetess who knows ''no mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed.'' For Maud and Roland, it's a fire than spans the ages.
