Storia
Harry Haller, a solitary intellectual, has spent his life fearing his dual nature of being human and being a beast. As his 50th birthday approaches, he decides to end his life but is rescued from his solipsism by the mysterious Hermine. She introduces him to jazz, takes him dancing, and guides him into the hallucinations of the Magic Theater, which seem to take him on a journey through Hell. Along the way, Harry meets Maria, a beautiful and whimsical woman. Through humor, sin, and derision, Harry seeks salvation.
Riassunto
Steppenwolf is an adaptation of Hermann Hesse's novel of the same name, set in the bourgeois circles of Europe after World War I. The film explores themes of duality, spirituality, and modern man's search for meaning. It delves into Harry Haller's struggle with his inner beast and his journey towards self-acceptance and salvation.
