THE HANDS OF ORLAC Movie Clip - Your hands could not be saved
Reuniting the star and director of DAS CABINET DES DR. CALIGARI, THE HANDS OF ORLAC [ORLAC’S HÄNDE] is a deliciously twisted thriller that blends grand guignol thrills with the visual and performance styles of German Expressionism.
Based on a novel by medical-horror novelist Maurice Renard, it charts the mental disintegration of a concert pianist (Conrad Veidt) whose hands are amputated after a train crash, and replaced with the hands of an executed murderer. When Orlac’s father is murdered by the dead man’s hands, Orlac begins a steady descent towards madness.
