Spider

Based on a novel by Patrick McGrath. SPIDER is a man with a fragile grip on reality. He is released from psychiatric care into a boarding house near where he grew up and in an attempt to reconstruct his tortured past he returns to his childhood haunts. As he revisits his past, an extraordinary web of memories, fantasies and hallucinations is revealed. A film that immerses us completely in someone else's mind, it's a remarkably intense experience that is in every sense the work of one of the world's great auteurs at the height of his powers.
