Description:
"Memoirs of My Nervous Illness" adapts the 1903 journal of Daniel Paul Schreber, a respected German judge confined to an asylum under the watchful eye of Dr. Emil Flechsig. Schreber's documented madness involved vivid delusions, including a conviction of communicating with God through a hidden "nerve language" and a desire to become female. The film follows the man's deepening immersion in this fantastical world. Simultaneously, Dr. Flechsig grapples with maintaining control, experiencing a complex mix of attraction and aversion towards Schreber's perceived femininity. The story builds to Schreber's courtroom appeal for release from the asylum.
