After this trip into the subconscious inspired by the Surrealists and German expressionism, the meeting with Dali seemed unavoidable. An exploration of eternally hypnotic mental landscapes.

European premiere
New restoration
Floating in Warner Jepson’s organic melodies and almost inaudible cosmopolitan languages, this wonderful trip summons to erotic reverie.
Arnold evokes sensual vertigo and the delights of touch in a hedonistic ritual: orgiastic blasphemous wanderings and costume extravaganzas recall Fellini’s Satyricon and foretell Ken Russel’s cinema.
