Gerrit Komrij - De Gelukkige Schizo (2005)

Gerrit Komrij - De Gelukkige Schizo plot

"One thing was certain: who I didn't want to be was who I was." This is how writer Gerrit Komrij speaks about himself as a child. He soon had to come to the conclusion that I had no choice but to live in fictional lives. But he doesn't really like the fame he acquired with it. "If I had a million, I wouldn't publish." Komrij laments himself and others, even though he lives with his friend in a beautiful house in Portugal where he is cooked and wine is served. Director Louter films in close-up Komrij's face and his hands writing poems, while Komrij softly mutters along with the words. Komrij reads, usually in voice-over, and talks about his life in two countries (the Netherlands and Portugal, where he feels 'slightly less out of place'), about his 'trinity' as an outsider: poet, homosexual and emigrant. He only revives when postal parcels arrive with books and magazines and especially with new conquests for his bibliophile collection.
