1971 · 86 min
A dense, symbol-heavy slog that drifts without a clear story, rewarding patience with atmosphere rather than narrative.

- Overview
- This German language film is said to be loosely based on a story by Edgar Allen Poe. It is difficult to say, as there is no story to be discerned in this non-stop pastiche, heavy with symbolism but with no other distinguishing features. It was, however, a German entry in the 1971 Cannes Film Festival.
