Lunacy (2005)
Ambientato nella Francia del XIX secolo, il giovane Jean Berlot viene invitato da un enigmatico Marchese nel suo castello dopo aver assistito a una crisi notturna del ragazzo in una locanda. Jean si ritrova coinvolto in rituali blasfemi, terapie psichiatriche radicali e una lotta di potere tra due diverse visioni di gestione di un manicomio: una basata sulla libertà assoluta e l’altra sulla punizione sistematica. La narrazione mescola live-action e animazione stop-motion per esplorare i confini tra sanità mentale e perversione.
