The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether is a short story that explores themes of sanity and madness. It is set in a mental institution where the lines between the patients and the staff become blurred. The story is known for its dark humor and satirical take on the treatment of mental illness in the 19th century.Film Adaptation

Just a good thriller with elements of horror and detective. Dark and intriguing. The love story, despite all my dislike for love stories, did not bother me, it looked cheerful. The actors are great, especially Kingsley. In general, it is worth attention
It’s quite understandable why the localizers changed the original title of the film to a name that is in tune with Shutter Island : the films do have some similarities, even the same actor plays the head of the psychiatric hospital, but how to stop confusing them?
A gloomy psychiatric clinic located somewhere in the depths of England… such surroundings already put you in the right mood. And then the plot has several twists, albeit predictable for some. My advice: it’s better not to read any annotations at all, just watch :)
Despite the bright photography and cool cast, this is a pointless, drawn-out film about nothing.
Apparently, I’ll have to re-watch Shutter Island sometime to re-evaluate. Because if Scorsese’s film was able to last 15 minutes before the upcoming twist became obvious, then Anderson’s imperishable film seemed to be deliberately scorched in the very first scene. Ignorance is bliss.
Such films deserve special attention, I re-watched the film and did not regret it, I recommend watching it.
Quite a good story. The cast is excellent. I enjoyed my two hours. The jokes of localizers with movie titles are boring, they always turn me off from watching them. Overall, it seems like an underrated project with a slightly underrated rating, but in 2014 there was a wider selection of films.
