Mr Ventham

Went to the Cinema rather than youtube for my first viewing of this picture, following comments in the Fritz Lang's M thread on this forum. What a classic piece of German expressionism. Fits in nicely with my existing view of psychiatrists too. The creepy, sinister, nasty bastards. The nice ones that are part of the Critical Psychiatry Movement like Joanna Moncrieff and Sami Timimi accepted. Love those mirror image shots of the pen-pushers hunched over their desks and men in their nightgowns waking. Too playful to be chilling in a way it might have been with its story-line, but a delightful film.
