“I’m off” is the five million times sold bestseller by Hape Kerkeling. Now he is back in the cinema. That is: Devid Striesow plays the pilgrim entertainer on God-search
The saleswoman looks puzzled on cover art. <- - magnific popup core js file!>. The customer at the checkout of the bookshop at the photo on the current paperback edition of “I’m off,” as if they had a strange appearance. No, that’s really not Hape Kerkeling, not even at a young age. This is the actor Devid Striesow, in turn, great comedian Kerkeling plays. Contented sa smile, philistine German summer hat on his head, hiking clothes, pilgrim stick in his hand
In 2001, the entertainer Hape Kerkeling was on the holy Pilgrim of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the French Pyrenees to the northern Spanish Santiago de Compostela. More than 600 kilometers to the slogan: “Maybe I’m not just Santiago, but also myself getting closer.”
Hörsturz, gall bladder surgery, Fast infarction: The TV-favorite had been quite ready , Swallowed, no trace of a “Witzischkeit-knows-no limits” -Fröhlichkeit in him. Burnout can also say this. Kerkeling made to the search for God and for mental health – hiking. An ancient Christian-therapeutic practice. Quite an ordeal. Only avoided the then 36-year-old the pilgrims’ hostels and hug joyful fellow sufferers and established himself comfortable.
But he stepped humorous in secular Germany a religious wave going on. He published his diary, “I’m off”, which sold five million times; the title became a household word. Now the film comes to the movies, however, Kerkeling, the quick-change artist, who once conquered as Queen Beatrix Bellevue Palace plays, not even. Would have been funny, but Striesow fills the role with astonishing resemblance from. He has also brought the same promotional products on the cover of the paperback edition (the “Bestseller of the film”). The 42-year-old embodies Hape Kerkeling as a cozy coach potato in flip-flops convincing: Since blurring identities. Who is now the better Kerkeling
What the movie by Julia von Heinz offers so: beautiful landscapes, warm and quirky people and many Kalenderblatt sayings from off God and existential questions. Kind, funny, a little Catholic Church in the cinema. So a kind Esoterical comedy without any documentary Ernst. That’s not much, but sometimes touching. The happy ending in the Cathedral of Santiago with a Kerkeling, who has overstepped his bounds, now the silence and nothingness can endure, comes as no surprise, after all, the road is also in the film the goal to strive this forbidden bulrush. A private path to spectators but suggests the film is not a – co-producer Hape Kerkeling will have watched
Amazingly much book can be found in the film, albeit spread over several characters.. “A comical triumvirate” had the real Kerkeling then formed with the “small, robust, indigenous” Anne of England and the “fairy, intelligent, classy lady” Sheelagh from New Zealand at the end: “I Moppel about rage both safe by half a meter . ” The gay Hape as Frauenversteher so he flirted. In the film Karoline Schuch and Martina Gedeck play the two leading roles: the sassy journalist Lena and unapproachable, maternal Stella that processes on the Way of St. James the cancer death of her daughter and a life crisis. Since the moving story of Larissa flows from the book with one that says to Kerkeling: “Eventually everyone starts on his way to blubber.” Exactly that happened then also.
Why Hape Kerkeling was so receptive and for the faith? In his book, “I’m off,” he said nothing about it from yet: “My pilgrimage can now be interpreted as a parable of my life path It was a difficult birth, which is actually true for me in the beginning of the path and in my childhood.. I find it hard to my pace… ” Only in his 2014 published Childhood memoirs “The boy needs to fresh air” Kerkeling told them that his depressive mother committed suicide when he was eight years old.
had Little Hans-Peter often long faxes and made nonsense until the mother “had forced laugh,” but even that had not helped. A trauma. In a way, Kerkeling’s career as an entertainer had begun. He grew up in the beloved grandmother Bertha, in the film therefrom a plotline developed with flashback sequences: The pilgrim Kerkeling remembers his childhood and how her grandmother (usual cranky: Katharina Thalbach) encouraged him to work his way unswervingly, brave to go as an adolescent entertainer. When he sees the child in Spain in itself which overcame his sad fate, explained that the miesepetrigen movie Kerkeling. The memory gives him strength to reach the place of pilgrimage.
So the film is a simple Kerkeling biography. And this begins with the appearance of fatty degeneration, bloated, monstrous TV stars to collapse. Remarkably, what the mask with Devid Striesow hired. This is almost a typical Kerkeling satire, but then it’s good on the Camino de Santiago. The other day at the movie premiere saw the real Kerkeling, 51, by the way again frighteningly obese from. He might actually soon be time to leave.
TV career ended
About the person He was Queen Beatrix in his ARD show “Total Normal” and the sleazy journalist Horst Schlämmer. Last year, however, ended the entertainer Hape Kerkeling his television career, with only 50 years. What he is now? “Altcomedian” he said in “Mirror” interview: “You can also call me Elder stageman.” He would now prefer to be active as an author, says the born in Recklinghausen as Hans-Peter Kerkeling on December 9, 1964 TV-Star. The filming of his published in 2006 pilgrims diary “I’m off” comes at Christmas to the movies.
