Regard sur la folie

Mario Ruspoli
1962 France 53 minutes French

The daily life at Saint-Alban’s psychiatric hospital in Lozère. “We didn’t want to reassure the audience with smiling images of a modern institution with no walls or fencing. Once a medieval fortress, the old asylum lives on here in the buildings and the inmates’ flesh.” (Mario Ruspoli)
