Harry Haller: The day went by just as days go by. I killed it in accordance with my primitive and withdrawn way of life. I worked for an hour or two, had pains, took some opium and lay in a hot bath for two hours. Was glad when the pains consented to disappear. All in all it wasn't exactly a day of rapture. Perhaps the time is come to follow the example of Adalbert Stifter: a fatal accident while shaving...

An interesting, experimental and largely successful adaptation of Herman Hesse's multilayered and psychologically complex novel. Max Von Sydow is perfect as Herman Hesse's character/ alter ego Harry Haller. Haller plays a disillusioned man going through a mid life crisis who plans on commiting suicide by the time he turns fifty. Instead he goes on a spiritual journey and regains his humanity again. The first half covers the novel well while the second half and denoument seem like one self indulgent "acid" trip replete with cartoon animation during some scenes. The animation setup at the begining even reminds me of Terry Gilliam's Monty Python work.
Definetly recommended to those who have read the novel and want to see the only film version attempted yet.
