Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Superjhemp is a beloved Luxembourgish comics icon since 1989; this film adaptation arrived nearly 30 years later to modest domestic fanfare.
Director Félix Koch allegedly had to negotiate with the government to use certain national symbols in the superhero's costume design.
