Horst Buchholz: Christopher Buchholz
built 656 days ago
Horst Buchholz died unexpectedly in March 2003. Christopher continued to follow his father’s traces, putting frank questions to his mother, Myriam Buchholz, and his sister, Béatrice. The result is an honest document as well as a tragicomic film which provides unorthodox insights into the life of an international star and his family.

Buchholz is the resurrected Barrymore, returned to life and still eager for booze, dalliance and hell-raising, every inch the grandiose personality. His son, Christopher Buchholz, in his stage debut after many films, has surprising range and inexhaustible vigor as the would-be Hamlet. The theater's old ways are contrasted to the new as teacher and student dispute the issues with interesting opinions.

Interviews mit Buchholz’ Familie und Statements von Christopher selbst machen „Hotte“ wieder lebendig. Das Projekt wurde vor vier Jahren begonnen und wurde bedingt durch den Tod des Schauspielers 2003 zum letzten Medienauftritt und Vermächtnis. Trotz seines im Alter vom Alkohol gezeichneten Gesichts blitzt manchmal noch Hottes jugendlicher Charme auf, der in den vielen Filmausschnitten und Home-Movies noch richtig strahlt.
