Synopsis

A frequently re-edited portrait of BUTTGEREIT’s father, a proletarian beer truck driver in West Berlin who had only very limited sympathies for Jšrg’s hanging out with the punk crowd. To see him slowly succumb to illness, however, is a rather sad experience. (Johannes SCHÖNHERR)

Diretor

Jörg BUTTGEREIT

Jörg BUTTGEREIT was born in 1963 in Berlin. Since the age of 14, he directed short films using Super 8mm, and made a controversial debut in 1987 with Nekromantik, a film about a love between a corpse and human. He then went on to make such films as Nekromantik II (1991), and Schramm(1993), pleasing hardcore audiences all over the world with his regular theme of necrophilia and death. BUTTGEREIT is a DJ, and is the first person who wrote a book about Japanese monster films in Germany.
