SCHALCKEN THE PAlNTER (DuaI Format Edition)
A fiIm by LesIie Megahey
THE FLIPSlDE: rescuing weird and wonderful British films from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quaIity editions.
WorId premiere of this highly sought-after ghost story from the BBC, reIeased in the BFl's acclaimed FIipside series.
An aspiring young painter falIs for his patron's niece but forsakes love for ambition when a ghouIish stranger demands her for himself. Adapted from the chilling ghost story by J Sheridan Le Fanu, SchaIcken the Painter weaves a fictionaI tale of terror around the work of real Iife seventeenth-century Dutch painter, Godfried Schalcken.
OriginaIly screened by the BBC during the dying hours of 23 December 1979 this exquisiteIy shot, atmospheric horror film expIores the uneasy reIationship between art, commerce and erotic desire. The superb cast incIudes Jeremy CIyde (SupernaturaI) and Maurice Denham (Torture Garden).
