Some philosophical musings on mortality and immortality are woven into a traditionalist sci-fi plot, in the Frankenstein vein, about scientists' congenital urge to play God. It includes an old-fashioned grave-robbing scene, a mystery man (Klaus Kinski, ideally cast) lurking about in the shadows and spying, and a romantic interest (Tina Aumont) who has an unconventional taste for bondage and pornographic modeling, as well as a more conventional taste for making love in front of a flickering fireplace. Hiram Keller, from Fellini's Satyricon, brings a lazy, bovine, college-dropout quality to the central role of the scientist. Directed by Alexander Whitelaw. (1977) — Duncan Shepherd
