Title

Der Kinematograph Nr. 655

Description

Long article by Oscar Geller, "Eine Zensurfrage" on the Leipzig theater owners boycott of "Nerven". Suggests that the owners should work out their concerns about political ("Tendenz") and sexual content directly with Reinert and not publicly via the press since this plays into the hands of those who want to regulate the cinema. A second (unsigned) article praises the film as an ambitious attempt at analyzing the current political and social situation as the effect of a psychosis.

Text

"Das Monumental-Filmwerk "Nerven", das eines der aktuellsten modernen Probleme der durch die gegenwärtigen Verhältnisse zerrütteten Menschheit behandelt und in höchst origineller wie geistvoller Weise die politischen Geschehnisse als Wirkung und Folge der Nervenpsychose hinstellt, wird zurzeit mit ungeheurem bisher unerreichten Aufwand eines wahrhaft gewaltigen Apparates in München hergestellt."
