Happy Too
Directed by Thomas Imbach3 oktober 2002 61 mDocumentaire
6.5
A raw, honest look at the relationship between film-makers, actors, and the characters they create together. Sometimes comical, sometimes infuriating, always fascinating. happy two takes us behind the scenes of the tour-de-force performances of "Happiness Is a Warm Gun". While the first film focused on the stormy, ultimately fatal relationship between Petra Kelly and Gert Bastian, "happy too" looks at the dangers of a different kind of shooting: independent fiction filmmaking. "happy too" is not a "making-of" documentary in the conventional sense. Its focus is the flip side of the world portrayed in "Happiness Is a Warm Gun". With the same penetrating gaze, irony and courage that Thomas Imbach used to probe the fantasy of activist romance, this time he takes aim at the myth of glamorous film acting. "happy too" parallels the Kelly-Bastian relationship with the struggles of actors Linda Olsansky and Herbert Fritsch. How to merge with the characters they play, without falling into the same patterns of self-destruction?
