"Harry Haller ist ein Paradebeispiel eines depressiven Einzelgängers: Er gibt sich mit nichts zufrieden, fühlt sich als der einsamste Mensch der Welt und fast täglich spielt mit Selbstmordgedanken. So fasst er den Entschluss, seinen 50. Geburtstag gleichzeitig zu seinem Todestag zu machen. Als er der Edelhure Hermine begegnet, ändert sich sein Vorhaben. Seine neue Bekanntschaft führt ihn in eine ihm zuvor unbekannte Welt voller Drogen, Frauen und dem "Magischen Theater" - ein Seelenspiegel psychedelischen Ausmasses. Der Beginn eines ungewöhnlichen Selbstfindungstrips im Deutschland der 1920er- Jahre. (Quelle: Umschlag)."
"From Herman Hesse's best-selling classic comes a pictorially stunning tale of one man's unquenchable thirst for self-knowledge and a journey into madness like you've never experienced before. Harry Haller is a suicidal, lonely writer precariously balanced on the brink of madness. Into his desparing world comes the seductive and enigmatic Hermine who promises to revitalize Harry, but only if he slavishly follows her every wish-even that Harry must eventually fall in love with her- and then kill her! Thus begins Harry's journey into a nightmarish realm of "The Magic Thearte," a carnival of the senses where Hermine initiates Harry to all the pleasures of the mind and body. There, in a chilling final confrontation, he ultimately realizes his inner potential for evil as well as good."

"Max von Sydow stars as Harry Haller, a self-absorbed, misanthropic writer contemplating the duality of his nature as both a social outsider disenchanted with the chaos and disorder of the everyday world and an inner " steppenwolf. " Planning to commit suicide by the age of 50, Haller seeks a reconciliation of these different aspects of the self, while encountering a mysterious woman who leads him into a magical realm where his efforts to achieve redemption may be realized through a metaphysical transcendence. Whether it is mental illness, narcotics, or an authentically supernatural experience that overtakes Haller remains unclear. Essentially as plotless as Hesse's source novel, Steppenwolf (1974) was mostly memorable for its avant garde visuals."
"Philosophical discourse of Hesse's novel about one man's desperate internal struggle to find peace within himself. Torn between the bourgeois resepctability he has achieved and the bestial antisocial impulses he feels inside him, he borders on the brink of schizophrenia."@en

"Europe, after the Great War. Harry Haller, solitary intellectual, is beset by reflections on his being ill suited for the world of everyday regular people, specifically for frivolous bourgeois society. All his life Harry has feared his dual nature--being both human and beast--so he has decided to die on his 50th birthday, which is soon. The mysterious Hermine, who takes him dancing, introduces him to jazz, to the beautiful and whimsical Maria, and guides him into the hallucinations of the Magic Theater, which seem to take him into Hell. Hermine rescues Harry from his solipsism, but can humor and sin lead to salvation, thus saving modern man? The producers were attempting to make "the first Jungian film," and the requisite special effects, cutting-edge at the time, required seven years of complicated pre-production."@en
