THE DIRECTOR ATTACHES, by means of very small clamps, the ends of six narrow wires to the fleshiest parts of a patient's face. These wires connect the patient to a highly sensitive machine, the newest of its kind, which is too large to appear in the photograph itself. The machine looms darkly in the background; it takes up an entire wall. Three serious men stand before it, adjusting its dials. Or this is the impression that the director hopes to effect. The wires do not, in fact, lead anywhere. They protrude crookedly from the patient's head, and this, combined with the dullness of his eyes, suggests a mutinous automaton, one who has tugged himself free from the clockwork. While those that are wild-eyed, what they resemble most are gorgons.
