TFF: "Vienna 1914. Otto finds a wormhole into another dimension. It drives his mental health and relationship into ruins. While Otto seeks counseling from Freud, his girlfriend Emma also finds comfort on Freud’s couch."
AA: An anarchistic and often infantile animation in German putting through a brightly visualized blender clichés of Vienna on the eve of WWII: cavalry, cafés, waltzes, psychoanalysis. It's pornographic, it's scatological, it quotes Edgar Allan Poe's The Conqueror Worm. There is a sweet lady, her officer suitor, and Sigmund Freud in person. There is no shortage of phallic symbols or Verschiebungen. In the center of it all is a Wurmloch which in the end devours everything in a film full of anticipations of the Great War.
