Movie Reviews of Steppenwolf

Movie Review: Good, but missing something . . .
Summary: 4 Stars

This film captures a lot of the spirit of the book, for example, some of the best scenes are of the bizarre "Goethe" character. Despite these particular amusements though, the film fails to capture the essence of the book by its ending.

I have read the book countless times and written various papers and articles on it, therefore, I basically know all of the symbolism and meanings and so forth; however, for someone not familiar with Hesse's work, this might prove to be a very confusing roller-coaster ride. It is strongly suggested that one read the book before attempting to view the film. The book is actually easier to understand than the film, at least for "first timers."

Summary of Steppenwolf

Max Von Sydow (The Exorcist The Seventh Seal Pelle the Conqueror) and Dominique Sanda (The Garden of the Finzi-Continis The Conformist) star in this ambitious adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning Herman Hesse's classic novel about the dual nature (the spiritual vs. the physical) of man and his eternal internal struggle to find peace within himself. This exciting version employs animation special effects camera trickery color synthesizers superimpositions and fast and slow motion to convey the complex inner life of the aging tortured writer (Von Sydow) who encounters the beautiful muse and alter-ego (Sanda) on his journey of self.System Requirements:Running Time 107 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: R UPC: 014381325621 Manufacturer No: HVE3256DVD
