The Serpent's Egg
“The kind of terror that could never be... until now... until Bergman!”
MysteryDramaThriller
In 1923 Berlin, following the suicide of his brother, an American acrobat struggles to survive while facing unemployment, depression, alcoholism, and the social decay of Germany during the Weimar Republic.
VIBE
A suffocating descent into despair. The film's oppressive atmosphere mirrors the protagonist's internal struggle amidst a crumbling society. It's a bleak, unsettling watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
