Christopher Reeve: The Eternal Superman on SBS Viceland and SBS on Demand – For the whole world, Christopher Reeve and Superman are one. More than forty years after the release of Richard Donner’s international blockbuster, Christopher Reeve remains the unbeatable interpreter of the superhero from Krypton.
How did the American actor manage to merge so prodigiously with his character? What spirit did he manage to infuse into this comic book hero, the embodiment of the American dream, to become such a reference for those who followed him?
Through a never-before-seen interview we conducted just before the actor’s untimely death, the film sheds light on the bonds between two heroes, traces their evolution over the course of their 9 years together and beyond, until the actor’s transformation into a superhero himself.
