This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.A powerful drama, The Seventh Veil continues to make an impact decades after its release, in spite of the fact that modern audiences will likely find its psychological underpinnings somewhat dated. As with many films of the period that sought to incorporate psychology into the proceedings, Veil oversimplifies things tremendously, from the ease with which a patient can be hypnotized (and the extent of what they can reveal under hypnosis) to the ability of a doctor to bring about a total transformation in a matter of a few sessions. Yet, if one looks beyond these flaws, one can appreciate the film's attempt to analyze the complexity of certain male-female relationships in which domination and submission play an important role; it may romanticize and "Hollywood"-ize these relationships, but it still presents them in a compelling manner.
