It ended a bit prematurely for me, but otherwise was good and already featured many of the stylistic elements Franju would later use for Judex.
A fairly disappointing film: works better as an exploration of the vicious circle of an angry young man's life than either a clash of medical ideals or analysis of the deterioration of the mind. Franju has an uncanny ability to depict the starkly real in a dramatic and poetic way.
