The Bosom Friend
by Ulrich Seidl
Austria, 1997, 69', colour
For Mr. Rupnik, the German actress Senta Berger represents the ideal “female Frankenstein”. He has watched her films a hundred times and studied her body for years, deducing mathematical curves from her bosom. Mr. Rupnik has spent ten years living with Senta Berger - not by her side, but “theoretically and in mind”. In reality he lives with his aging mother.
