ELISABETH KÜBLER-ROSS - DEM TOD INS GESICHT SEHEN
Schweiz 2002 – Director: Stefan Haupt – Original language: Schweizerdeutsch/deutsch/englisch – Subtitles: deutsch oder englisch – Length: 94 min.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross is arguably the world's most renowned expert on the process of dying. With Kübler-Ross' full collaboration, Haupts' film looks back on her life and career, from her days as a triplet in Zurich, to her fame as an international lecturer and writer based in the US. Now in her twilight years, Kübler-Ross is bed bound in Arizona, and awaiting death herself.
With the addition of archive film and interviews with Kübler-Ross' sisters and close colleagues, Haupt creates a portrait of a remarkable woman, who has done much to make death less of a taboo.
