A tonal poem ruminates on the crippling leisure of summer - and its threatening freedom. Animated with experimental media and narrated poetically, “Nerves Most Spoiled” contradicts its own visuals with a painful reflection of festering sanity. Lingering, exploitative and occasionally uncomfortable, the film asks the viewer to play voyeur, through moments of clarity and abnormality.
