Secrets of a Soul

Geheimnisse einer Seele

1927 · DE

Directed by G.W. Pabst

A chemist develops a terror of knives and a wish to kill his wife; a dream of superimpositions and a tower shows why; an analyst explains it. Pabst made it with two of Freud's associates advising, and the dream is photographed better than the cure. Werner Krauss is the chemist. Ufa, 1927.
