Photographed by Oscar-winner Zbig Rybczynski and scored by Krautrock synth god Klaus Schulze, this underseen and controversial Austrian shocker is a highly-stylized and visceral experience.
Erwin Leder fully commits to the role of a criminally insane convict who, upon being released, wastes no time acting out his darkest impulses. As Leder pushes the limits of sanity farther than almost any screen portrayal in history, Schulze’s pulsating music and Zbig’s innovative first-person POVs grab you by the throat, never letting go.
