Delirium Tremens

About This Movie

Delirium Tremens is a haunting exploration of addiction and isolation through the lens of Gabriel, a tormented painter played by Maximilien Poullein. The film dives deep into the suffocating grip of alcoholism, heightened by Gabriel's agoraphobia. The atmosphere is thick with dread and surrealism, thanks to the nightmarish visuals that blur the line between reality and Gabriel's fractured mind. Nina, portrayed by Prisca Silie, brings a contrasting light, attempting to tether him to reality while unraveling the complexities of his psyche. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly, creating a palpable sense of unease. The practical effects mirror Gabriel's internal struggles, making this film stand out for its raw portrayal of the human condition.
