📽️ The Hands of Orlac (Orlacs Hände), 1924
⭐ 4/5
Oct 17, Archive.org

Visually the most pre-David Lynch Lynchian thing I've ever seen, esp the shots lingering on cavernous rooms before an actor enters. Psychological body horror + crime thriller is a win every time. Makes you wonder if they had this script and were like, "Boy, who do we know who's a Hand Actor? Like the handsiest Hand Actor who ever had a pair of hands?"
