Helmut Berger, autoportrait.

Rate this book
Helmut Berger fut considéré comme « le plus bel homme du monde ». Luchino Visconti lui fit interpréter des rôles inoubliables aux côtés de Romy Schneider, Elizabeth Taylor, Charlotte Rampling ou Burt Lancaster, des prestations inscrites dans la légende du cinéma. Entre l'acteur et le cinéaste, se noua une relation ô combien passionnelle. A la mort du metteur en scène italien en 1976, la carrière d'Helmut Berger décéléra brutalement ; personnalité cinématographique incontournable des années fastes, interprète de personnages sulfureux, fêtard invétéré, Berger finit par être victime de son image et de ses excès. Revenu de ses tourments, l'acteur autrichien se regarde dans un miroir autant que dans les souvenirs. Le résultat en est cette autobiographie épicée, sauvage, où Helmut Berger transgresse tous les tabous.

I loved this book. Every gossipy word of it. I downloaded it onto my Kindle, which has recently met its natural end, so I don't have the text to hand. I was worried that I hadn't used German for so long, reading it might be difficult. However, I finished the book in two days, which perhaps says more about the power of wonderfully related celeb gossip than it does about my language retention. Helmut good at surprises! And some great photos too. Highly recommended, and I'm still laughing at the unfortunate episode in the white suit . . . .

Hysterics, not to say drama queens, may be very annoying to live with, but they surely have the funniest stories to tell.
