Nerves
The film tries to capture the "nervous epidemic" caused by war and misery which "drives people mad". This unique portrait of the life in 1919 Germany, filmed on location in Munich, describes the cases of different people from all levels of society: Factory owner Roloff, who loses his mind in view of catastrophies and social disturbances; teacher John, who is the hero of the masses; and Marja who turns into a radical revolutionary.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative as a series of frantic case studies, relying on jarring edits and agitated close-ups to mirror a society's breakdown. It explores not individual psychologies, but the contagious madness of a collective nerve.
What lingers after the final reel is the chilling sense of a society devouring itself from within, a raw and urgent diagnosis captured on film. — MovieFinder Editorial
