About the film
The demonic on the one hand and the good on the other - that is the nature of every human being. But what is the relationship between them and to what extent do they influence people? This is what the physician and scientist Dr Henry Jekyll wants to find out by means of an experiment, and in doing so he puts himself in danger.
The fascination emanating from this story has been unbroken since the publication of the novella ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ by Scottish poet Robert Stevenson in 1886. As one of the most famous versions of the doppelganger motif in world literature, the story has served as the basis for around 30 film adaptations to date. The Studiobühne is showing the fifth screen adaptation of Stevenson's literary model with US actor John Barrymore.
