The Testament of Dr. Mabuse

A lunatic asylum east of Berlin, dawn frost on the windows. A patient scrawls invisible orders while keepers hum hymns. Detective Lohmann wakes in a padded cell, watched by a colleague who speaks in riddles. Professor Baum claims the criminal genius Mabuse has been dead for years yet his rambling treatise still steers new heists across the city. Lang’s Weimar shadow-play where ink bleeds into blood and silence howls.
