A man pretends to be mentally unstable to get into a mental institution to solve a murder, yet begins losing his mind in the process
A great lead performance in a film with a more creative style than I was expecting.
Great investigational thriller about the madness of slowly losing one’s mind, as well as societal stigmatization of the mentally ill.
Sex delusions in mental institution - fetishes, incest, racism and gang rape. Radical and way ahead of its time.
Ridiculous now, but it probably came off as groundbreaking in its day.
Perhaps a bit harsh of a rating from me, but then again, I can’t seem to change my ratings on this app for whatever reason
A lot of plot conveniences and it had it's slow points, but it is a unique story told with flair. Acting is great and story is compelling.
Unexpected twists, good classic.
”Nymphos!”
