In his youth, Spider has been deeply disturbed by the death
of his mother and has been placed in a mental hospital to
help him over the trauma. On his release he revisits the
scenes of his childhood and we are witness to his collection
of memories. This could be bleak, austere, and gloomy. Instead
it is fascinating, daring and full of performances of enormous
strength. A quite remarkable film.
