Les Souffrances D’Un Oeuf Meurtri shows the sufferings of desire in the non-specific symbols of the unconscious.That the film is an obscure sketch-pad of sublimated problems does not vitiate its interes. l magery which comes as in the moments between waking and sleep, from an ‘irrational secret life’ is more untarnished, more out of control, yet just as significant as the conscious one-to-one concept-for-image symbolism of a director like Bergman.
