Klaus, a former Nazi doctor and currently paralyzed from the neck down, is living in a Catalonian villa with his family. The arrival of a mysterious young man who claims to be a nurse will reopen a circle of violence Klaus thought safely buried away in the past. Villaronga flinches before nothing; force-feeding the viewer images of skin-crawling, almost pornographic brutality and dangerously approaching the line of exploitation, he delivers a terrifying study of the darkest recesses of human nature. Disparaged by some and hailed as a modern day Salò by others, In a Glass Cage is a true arthouse horror gem.
