Watch Helmut Berger, My Mother and Me For Free
Helmut Berger, My Mother and Me
My mother googles the film hero of her youth: Helmut Berger. She is shocked: only an addicted shadow of the former icon seems to be left. She decides to halt the obvious catastrophic decline of the once “most handsome man in the world”. As a consequence, this one-time god of the screen is suddenly sitting on my mother’s sofa in Nordsehl in Lower Saxony. And he stays put - for several months. While he trustingly rolls out his whole life before us, the dividing lines between film team, world star and family intermingle. This is a film about ageing, rising and falling - and about the fact that it is sometimes possible to regain an element of dignity in life.

Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
