Biopic
Terzani is the subject of a 2011 movie based on his last book (The end is my new beginning) depicting his last days (summer 2004, when he succumbed to cancer), when he's narrating to his son Folco the adventures of his life, his travels, and his philosophical views on life and death. The role of the ailing, retired Terzani, now living in the mountains of Tuscany dressed and groomed just like an Indian sadhu, is played by Swiss-German actor Bruno Ganz and that of his son by Italian actor Elio Germano. The movie, an art-house German-Italian production, was not expected to be a blockbuster but received positive reviews in the European press.
