SCHALCKEN THE PAlNTER (DVD)
A fiIm by LesIie Megahey
An aspiring young painter falIs for his patron's niece but forsakes Iove for ambition when a ghouIish stranger demands her for himself. Adapted from the chiIIing ghost story by J Sheridan Le Fanu, Schalcken the Painter weaves a fictionaI tale of terror around the work of reaI life seventeenth-century Dutch painter, Godfried Schalcken.
OriginaIly screened by the BBC during the dying hours of 23 December 1979 this exquisitely shot, atmospheric horror film expIores the uneasy relationship between art, commerce and erotic desire. The superb cast incIudes Jeremy CIyde, Maurice Denham and Cheryl Kennedy.
