The Strange Case of Howard Phillips Lovecraft

The Strange Case of Howard Phillips Lovecraft

1998 · 45 min · ★ 8.2 · Documentary

Disgusted by life and uninterested in earthly subjects, Lovecraft intentionally avoided reality when writing, veering into the unknown and inspiring the fear that lurks in nightmares. But, how do you portray the indefinable mythology that gave birth to Dragon, or the mysterious Cthulhu, or the uniquely strange Necronomicon? Directors Patrick Mario Bernard and Pierre Trividic asked themselves this question before responding with this unorthodox documentary that re-creates the atmosphere of claustrophobia, anxiety, and madness of Lovecraft s life and work.

Directed by Patrick Mario Bernard · Written by Anne-Louise Trividic
