Show Notes
Nearly a decade following his last role as the legendary Man of Steel, Christopher Reeve, an enduring icon of Hollywood, experienced a life-altering accident in 1995 when he fell from a horse during an equestrian competition, resulting in two fractured spinal vertebrae. The actor, who once inspired audiences with the belief that he could soar, was suddenly confronted with the necessity of navigating life in a wheelchair. The biographical film by Bonhôte and Ettedgui adopts a unique narrative structure, commencing with the protagonist at his lowest point in the journey of a hero. This subtle storytelling choice, along with several others, sets Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story apart from standard celebrity documentaries, particularly in a time when such portrayals have become overly familiar. The movie is available on FlixHQ.
