Good manners, cleanliness, and good abstinence is ideal to mask a can psychopathy at first. His surreal and entertaining analysis of man obsessed with death comes from Kafka's country, primarily because he acts as a funeral director and reads the dead's Tibetan book intensely. The emergence of nazism poses itself as the perfect opportunity for him to release his delusions with all that strange things rambling through his head. The most enticing aspect of the picture is the execution of the sequence, the heavy use of deep focus, hand held camera and dutch tilt effectively materializes an unnerving and nightmarish experience reminiscent of the wolf's The Trial of Welles or Bergman's Hour.
