Steppenwolf

Aroview: A strange yet spiritually faithful adaptation of Hermann Hesse's novel about a solitary intellectual in 1920's Germany who is a half-human, half-animal who contemplates suicide before a chance meeting introduces him to an enlightening and bizarre world known as the Magic Theater.

A cult film that boasts then cutting-edge visual fx and animated sequences, its screenwriter Fred Haines stepped up to direct after others dropped out, and it remained his sole directing effort.
