Zusammenfassung:Like Jodorowsky's "EL Topo", which features many of the same cast and crew, "Mansion" is a wild, psychedelic nightmare, imbued with the freewheeling vibe of the late 1960s. Based on a story by famed horror writer Edgar Allan Poe, the film is set in a kind of kingdom of madness - a huge insane asylum presided over by notorious brigand, Raul Fragonard. He has locked up the institution’s director and set the lunatics free. A visting journalist uncovers the secret behind the Mansion of Madness, but soon finds himself on trial before a host of crazed lunatics - whose ultimate aim is world domination.
