After the backlash against Peeping Tom, Powell embarked on a fascinating late career that took in everything from Australian feature-films, series TV, children’s movies and advising for Scorsese and Coppola to this extraordinarily stylised adaptation of Béla Bartók’s almost unfilmable 1911 opera for West German TV. Featuring a libretto by film theorist and poet Béla Belázs, and boldly expressionist production design by Hein Heckroth (The Red Shoes) relying on semi-abstraction, psychodramatic sets and vivid, almost deranged colours, it stars Norman Foster in the murderous title role.
