CGiii Comment
Two directors make a documentary about the controversial film director and irascible actor Peter Kern. But Kern refuses to be crammed into the form of a classical documentary. He doubts, criticizes and rebels; he lies and puts on a show for the camera - and the directors approve.
The fundamental question then is: When is Kern telling the truth? When is he acting? Or is he telling the truth even when he is acting? Peter Kern is a storyteller and a man with secrets. And that gave this film its form. "Kern" became more than a film about a director; it*s about filmmaking itself.
