Plot

A woman in a psychiatric clinic.

Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Schroeter's film puts a woman in a psychiatric clinic and treats her madness as operatic spectacle, with Carole Bouquet and Magdalena Montezuma. Wild and theatrical, it is a fevered, divisive Schroeter piece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
