I watched it AGES ago. Time to rewatch. I'm a huge fan of these psychiatric/hospital/prison movies.....The more disturbing the best! BTW, anyone remember Shock corridor (USA 1963, director Samuel Fuller). GREAT ONE!


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
