Since 1996 the filmmaker Georges Gachot has been following the story of doctor and cellist Beat Richner and his childrens hospitals in Cambodia. In portraying this Swiss man, aged 64, the film returns to the origins of his inspiration, which were already present in his cabaret character Beatocello in the 1970s when he was living in Zurich. A film about a life and an extraordinary voyage of 40 years, this documentary reveals a utopian artist who realized his visions by becoming a builder of hospitals in the land of the Khmer.
Leave your thoughts about Beatocello's Umbrella.
| The New York TimesAnita GatesBeatocello’s Umbrella could have been a terrible movie. In theory and largely in execution, it is little more than a promotional video for Kantha Bopha, a group of hospitals in Cambodia, and Dr. Richner, who has run them since the early 1990s. But what a guy! |
| Village VoiceSteve Erickson[A] well-intentioned but terribly clunky film. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibMore scenes of Richner’s admirable efforts in the hospital and fewer expressions of admiration by the doctors and nurses he trains would also have helped to anchor the film’s sincere but repetitive hosannas. |
