Audience Member I'm not well read enough to even discuss the philosophical merits of this film, all of it is lost on me. That doesn't mean that this film isn't a crazy good time. It starts slow, and for around the first hour it's a standard story about a middle aged man that get involved with a mysterious woman. It's a nice story but it doesn't really seem to go anywhere, then we are introduced to the "Magic Theater" from this point on the film becomes a special effects tour-de-force. This part of the movie is shot on what looks to be video tape and gives this part a very different vibe than the rest of it, almost like an early MTV music video complete with rampant blue screen abuse. It's a great film if you're in the mood for such a thing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'd use words but they are and are not , and I can not explain that. There is Hesse. By turns turgid or enchanting, manic and nightmarish. Wonderful beauty, as seen through jaded camera. Yes, the costumery, the masque, the colour washes and mostly the illustrations opened doors for a beginner in Hesse like myself. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Es muy difícil llevar al cine una novela tan compleja, es mejor leer el libro. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A somewhat entertaining and certainly very bizarre film. Younger Max von Sydow reminds me a lot of Anthony Hopkins. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Livro bom, adaptação ruim. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A near-faithful adaptation of the book. I'm a little biased because I've read the book and am in love with it, but I found myself experiencing the same adulations when viewing this movie. A lot is cut out, but the heart of it most certainly remains. If you're a fan of Hesse's, then you'll enjoy this movie. Even if you're not, it's still a bit of a philosophical ride in the same vein as Waking Life. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
