This is the fourth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
A young psychiatrist has a patient, a taxi driver who's having nightmares. The
psychiatrist can relate to him, because he also suffers from nightmares, so he
doesn't just examine him, he does detective work to find out about the taxi
driver's past.
The film is a shambles. There are so many nightmare scenes that it's sometimes
difficult to tell what's really happening. The narrative is
non-linear, jumping backwards and forwards in the lives of both the
psychiatrist and the taxi driver.
There was one scene that was so ugly that I almost walked out. The
psychiatrist gave the taxi driver electroshock therapy to cure him of his
nightmares. That's extreme, isn't it?
Apart from this, there's a totally unnecessary mid credits scene.
Avoid this film. I'm being generous by not giving it a rock bottom one star
rating. It's beautifully filmed. That's all it has in its favour.
