FREE ON YOUTUBE David And Lisa

FREE ON YOUTUBE (YOU FIND THE WHOLE FILM FREI AUF YOUTUBE) This is one of the most beautiful love films I've ever seen! A work full of tact and insight! Not least a film about psychological problems. About schizophrenia. David (Keir Dullea), a young, cultivated, somewhat arrogant man, is brought to a mental hospital by his mother, who takes precautions. David cannot bear to be touched by anyone. There he meets Lisa (Janet Margolin), who suffers from a so-called endogenous psychosis. Lisa is schizophrenic. She thinks she is two girls and speaks backwards in verses that rhyme. But David reaches Lisa. She knows his weakness and he knows hers. A love that slowly builds up without compulsions and that is presented without clichés. Finally David can bear to be touched and Lisa is able to reveal her feelings. Free from false drama. Never maudlin, but very touching! David seems almost icy in his fear of touch and death. Lisa, on the other hand, is of beguiling beauty and has a strong need for someone to help her. Director Frank Perry has a feeling for what is important. He saves everything unnecessary. His film never sounds like a pseudo-physician's report. Interesting is the fact that Eleanor Perry's script was taken from the records of a psychiatrist. David And Lisa was a cult film among students in the 60s. An early indie that anticipated New Hollywood and later movements.
