Nerven

Wed, 03 May 2017 13:02:37 -0300

Nevralgia, alucinação e paranóia num colapso psíquico e convulsão social numa civilização se arruinando. Todos os personagens se enrolam.

Quando o avanço da própria civilização engenda desordem tal que os mecanismos de controle cerebrais e sociais entram em falha.

Filmado durante a República de Weimar, "Nervos" é um dos filmes citados no documentário From Caligari to Hitler: German Cinema in the Age of the Masses.
