Egomania – Insel ohne Hoffnung (1987): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1987, Egomania – Insel ohne Hoffnung is a drama and terror film directed by Christoph Schlingensief, running about 87 minutes. “The Greatest Love Drama of All Time” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Egomania is a visually stunning end-of-the-world melodrama about lust, jealousy and murder set amidst solar eclipses, orchestral chants and the distant thunder of the boiling sea. The film’s characters – riddled with unconscious desires – find themselves imprisoned on an island. Drawing parallels to the work of British filmmaker Derek Jarman and staring Jarman’s actress-muse Tilda Swinton, Schlingensief’s raw and almost mythological film stands in contrast to his more offensive efforts.

Who’s in it. Egomania – Insel ohne Hoffnung stars Udo Kier as Baron Tante Teufel, Tilda Swinton as Sally, Uwe Fellensiek as William and Anna Fechter as Ria, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.2/10, Egomania – Insel ohne Hoffnung has proved divisive with audiences.
