- Quotes
Gizella: [Narrating; scene shows her being lowered into a "therapy" tank of water at the asylum] I'll have you know that I am an arm of your God. God herself. I was the first living being. My upper part is the fiery sun, in the rays of which live the Souls of the Dead. The Sun is God itself. The Sun shoots off millions and millions of electric beams. Initially, as I became conscious, I started to revolve around myself. While circulating, an immense heat developed and compressed itself to Earth. This is how I created the Earth and the stars. I took God's name, but Evil resides in my cells. Yes, Evil is reigning over the world.
Gizella: [Still narrating, as she is re-submerged in the therapy tank] I have an arm for every person through which I govern the world. These invisible arms arrange people's fate, their every step and smallest action. I'm an arm of your God.
The plot is set in the beginning of the 20th century and it's always passed inside an institution (for mad people). The movie has artsy cinematography (in the "traditional" European way) but it's too slow paced and boring at parts. However, the plot, the acting and the production are not bad, but even so I can't score it more than 5/10 because of its melancholy!
