After stage performances and circus tours, after running a theater and managing a cinema, after a graphic design studio and directing, after a break in New York and writing books, comes the feature film about the legendary Swiss cabaret artist. «Typisch Emil» brings Emil’s unforgettable performances, his humor, and his language – which have captivated generations and continue to do so – to the big screen. The film team worked its way through unseen archival material and searched for stories never before told. The result is a film about courage, love, and the tireless drive to constantly reinvent oneself – a moving documentary about 90 years of Emil Steinberger, in which the artist’s unmistakable wit shines through time and again.
