this is björk’s favorite movie i just know it is
An unnerving, guilt-ridden and surreal silent era nightmare that is stripped of title cards that might help balance you and instead drops you head-first into the horrifying images of masked faces, expressionist dancing, torn photographs and literal dreams/fantasies trapped within concrete walls and prison bars. The uncanny use of non-linear editing and shifting, subjective perspective creating this stylish psychological fracturing effect as these past lives lost in time try to come to violent terms with the tangible reality of their current institutionalized surroundings. This should be as well-known and studied as the German expressionists.
A desperate man takes a job as an orderly at a psychiatric asylum in order to rescue his institutionalized wife.
Teinosuke Kinugasa directed the 1926 Japanese silent film, which is celebrated as a landmark of avant-garde cinema.
Yes, it is a 1926 Japanese silent film famously stripped of intertitles, relying entirely on visual storytelling and expressionist imagery.
