Steppenwolf (1974)
I really liked the film
I feel like a minority of one by saying I liked Haines' adaptation of Steppenwolf. I first ran across it in 1989 when I found it mis-filed under horror in the video store I was living above my senior year in college. I was already a fan of Hesse, I especially liked the Glass Bead Game, Steppenwolf, Demian and Siddhartha.
I loved Max von Sydow's performance as Harry Haller. I found Dominique Sandia to be a captivating Hermine.
It is definitely a weird film but that adds to its charm. This film captured the spirit of the book quite well -- better than David Lynch's adaptation of Dune. I'm speaking as a fan of David Lynch and of Dune. Some of the animated exposition looked a little awkward but I'm inclined to overlook that because some of it was funny and the live action parts worked really well.
The Four Corners of Nowhere (1995)
A better Breakfast Club
This movie was hilarious. It's like a Breakfast Club for 20 somethings. I would put it in the same category as Kevin Smith's films but this one works as well or better with an even smaller budget.
Great characters. Good philosophical points. Enjoy this movie with a twist of your favorite herb.
