De Veelvraat Hugo ClausTonko Cop

Hugo Claus was most famous for his novels and poetry, but he was so much more than just a writer? Claus also was a visual artist, screenplay writer and director. In the sixties he even was a fashion commentator for BRT television. A song lyric for Liesbeth List of for Eurovisionsongfestival, texts for a comic strip or for the opera: nothing was too much for Claus. Not even for the leading role in a TV-commercial for cheese. Claus became a huge star who knew how to interact with the media. Lying was a way of life for him. ‘The truth only exists three minutes a year’, so he said. De veelvraat Hugo Claus is a search for the master player Claus, his versatility and his elusiveness. The documentary show unique footages from the television archives, completed with new interviews with friends of the writer.
