Dir: Walerian Borocwyck | Cast: Udo Kier, Maria Pierro, Patrick McGee | 1981
Sometimes a film is so uncompromisingly strange it exerts a fascination more respectable productions cannot equal. Borowczyk’s version of Stevenson’s classic tale is such a film.
Docteur Jekyll et les femmes is a variation on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Forty years have now passed since I headed for the exit numb with disbelief following a late night screening of this film in Sheffield. But its memory still and always will remain more vivid than countless better films. @RichardChatten
