A young man tormented by nightmares, Jan Berlot (played by Pavel Liska), repeatedly dreams the same dream: two demons break into his bedroom and throw him into an asylum. Exhausted, Berlot encounters the mysterious Marquis (played by Jan Triska), who claims he will cure him. This eccentric Marquis lures Berlot to a creepy asylum. The oppressive air, sickly inmates, dark interludes of "raw meat performances," and a series of repulsive debauchery drive the disoriented Berlot to the brink of collapse. When he learns from the seemingly pure nurse Charlotte (played by Anna Geislerová) about the vile true nature of the director and the Marquis, this hellish nightmare is just beginning. This surreal work "Nightmare Asylum," created by Czech filmmaker and animation master Jan Švankmajer, won Best Film at the 2005 Pilsen Film Festival and various awards including Best Art Direction and Poster Design at the 2006 Czech Lion Awards. It also represented the Czech Republic in the 2007 Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film. Švankmajer warns viewers at the outset that this film will test their visual limits and challenge their psychological boundaries as a piece of anti-aesthetics. With this film, he pays homage to the master of death aesthetics Edgar Allan Poe and the erotic author Marquis de Sade. The horrifying raw meat and entrails, chilling rituals, and nightmares together construct a completely insane and morbid nightmare asylum.
