The Unburdening (1983)
Directed by Marcel Schüpbach
Overview
In this surreal, overstated, black-and-white film by Marcel Schuepbach, a young woman is slowly driven to near insanity by an inner desire for a passionate existence, while she lives a dull life at her grandmother’s country home. The grandmother recalls how her own daughter lost hold of sanity and died on her lover’s grave—and she begins to see similarities in her granddaughter’s behavior.
