Ich. Immendorff

Documentary film about the painter and sculptor Jörg Immendorff who ranks among the most important German artists. The filmmakers accompanied Immendorff over a period of two years – until his death in May 2007. The artist had been living for nine years knowing that he was terminally ill with ALS. The film shows how Immendorff continued to work with unabated energy and how he tried not to let himself be restrained by his deteriorating health. Besides Immendorff himself, the film features colleagues and companions such as Markus Lüpertz, Jonathan Meese, Tilman Spengler, or Kaspar König, but also members of his family such as his mother Irene or Immendorffs girlfriend Oda Jaune.
