Super/Man – The Christopher Reeve Story is a new documentary about the man who played many people’s favourite Superman.

From directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui; the film features Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon and many more who knew Reeve; including his family and friends, as we learn the story of Reeve, his work, the twists and turns of his life and his legacy.

For some of us, Christopher Reeve is the first actor we saw in the Superman role. He’s actually the third actor to play the character in a live-action on-screen production.

I’m one of the people who watched and enjoyed all four of his Superman films. I also heard a little about some of the inspiring work he decided to do after his tragic accident. I feel ready to learn more about this extraordinary human. One who was tireless when helping to lift others.

Unsurprisingly, writing this post has me dreaming about dropping everything to begin rewatching all of Reeve’s Superman movies. Namely, Superman (1978), Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)). I’ll likely do that very soon – especially if my recent journey into watching twenty to thirty-year-old films continues going well.

Super/Man – The Christopher Reeve Story Release Dates: September 21st, 2024 (US), November 1st, 2024 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
