"Dr. Jeckyl und Mr. Hyde" - Film & Schauspiel

In the organizer's words:

Cinema Quadrat and Nationaltheater Mannheim are showing what is probably the best film adaptation of the Victorian horror novella - to accompany the "Jekyll & Hyde" stage production at the NTM; there will be an introduction before the film screening on April 9!
DR JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
USA 1931. dir: Rouben Mamoulian. D: Fredric March, Miriam Hopkins, Rose Hobart, Holmes Herbert. 92 min. English with English subtitles. FSK: 12
Probably the best, and definitely the most groundbreaking, film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella: Dr. Jekyll is fascinated by the vision of separating good from evil in the human soul. He himself helps the poor and the sick - but when he tries out his chemical experiments himself, he turns into the monster Mr. Hyde. This split-off from Jekyll's soul commits the most terrible atrocities...
This classic of film history captivates, among other things, with a long sequence in subjective camera and the trick technique of the transformation scenes. "The original theme of the original, good and evil in the human soul, has been redesigned as a philosophical reflection on nature and civilization, dispensing with moral judgements." (Filmdienst)
In cooperation with the Nationaltheater Mannheim, accompanying the play "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" in the version by Johanna Wehner.
Holders of theatre tickets for "The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" receive reduced admission to the cinema, holders of cinema tickets receive a 25% discount on the performances on 10.04.2025.

The film will be shown on 4.4. and 9.4. at 7:30 pm. On 9.4. with introduction by Olivia Ebert, dramaturge Schauspiel NTM
