Intoxication (German: Rausch) is a 1919 German silent drama film directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Asta Nielsen, Alfred Abel and Karl Meinhardt. It was based on the play Brott och brott by August Strindberg. Lubitsch was loaned out from UFA to the smaller Argus-Film for the production.

Synopsis

Gaston est un dramaturge à succès et il tombe amoureux d'Henriette, la femme d'un de ses amis. Pour elle, il quitte sa femme et sa petite fille. Quand celle dernière meurt pour des raisons inexpliquées, la police le soupçonne d'homicide involontaire et tous se détournent de lui. Sa relation avec Henriette se dégrade, son travail en pâtit. Bien que la cause naturelle de la mort de l'enfant soit découverte en fin de compte, cela restera une ombre sur son existence.
