Lunacy, also known as Šílení is a 2005 film by Jan Švankmajer. The film is loosely based on two short stories, The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether and The Premature Burial, by Edgar Allan Poe. It is also partly inspired by the works of the Marquis de Sade.
The film was shot between October 2004 and April 2005, on location in the village of Peruc close to Prague, and in Švankmajer's studio in the village of Knoviz.
