the cultural magazine. or twenty one. d w. d w media center see it find it here it discover. video and audio podcast on language courses in the d w media center at media center dot d w dot com. greetings from the german capital once again welcome to the show and before we ask who done it at the very top of the program let's have a look at what else is in the pipeline. blast from the past hits from the one nine

hundred ninety s. get feet were kestrel treatment. is sweet and savory tried some traditional moroccan cuisine in berlin. and the basis of a burden how to white camels found a new home north of the arctic circle. passenger train bound for london twelve suspects to murder weapons hall of the story sounds familiar that's because it's the scene for agatha christie's nine hundred thirty four classic whodunit murder on the orient express which has been newly filmed and here are some of the pictures of the red carpet premiere on thursday night in london director kenneth branagh brought a star studded cast on board and he also plays the lead role of christie's ingenious belgian detective. other stars include the

one and only johnny depp dame judi dench willem dafoe. american michelle pfeiffer and the spanish actress penelope cruz here she is well over the course of his career kenneth branagh has adapted everything from literary classics to comic books and this time he does his ostentatious best to upstage the one nine hundred seventy four film classic. i train. them. and twelve passengers and i get at christie's classic murder on the orient express it's up to belgian detective. to find the killer among them. he was murdered the murderer is on the train with us now. published in britain in one thousand nine hundred thirty four the famous detective novel has already been made into a film several times kenneth branagh is the director and also plays

a leading role in the new film he was fascinated by the material arthur christie i think has a real relish in storytelling and in the kind of structure that gives you a glamorous location a tangle of strangers as the screenplay would have it locked together for days. produces the possibility of dramatic conflict and tension in such a sort of compressed and sort of volcanic way that if you buy into that violent crime it's a very potent combination of this very special whodunit has a very special cast including oscar winners judi dench and cruz. alongside oscar nominees michelle pfeiffer. and kenneth branagh. it's really a dream cast and each and every one of them i've admired and. wanted

to work with and you know i mean i literally teared up when i met judy dench not only are they all incredibly gifted and accomplished but such fun. people to be around which is lucky for us because we were sort of stuck in a cabin together for hours and weeks and months on end the original nine hundred seventy four film version also had a star studded cast you committing albert finney lauren bacall and sean connery ingrid bergman even received an oscar as best supporting actress. right. kenneth branagh who is renowned for his film adaptations of shakespeare's plays was determined to get the right time for his latest work for some it didn't take much convincing. if you gee i wonder would you be interested in.

should you not know i don't need to hear whatever it is out there and that's exactly. that's what i said yes to and it happened to be this but the real star of this show is the set of replica of the orient express was built in a london studio special effects were used in many of the scenes to recreate the locations where the action takes place. some sets work painstakingly put together. when we will that hit the huge sound stage and the entire interior of istanbul station has been recreated it is completely breath taking the detail and the crossman ship that is going to all of it is i'm believe well i've never seen anything like it i know them and he said like it. on the orient express welcome aboard for what could be the most thrilling train

journey and cinematic history. to not trust or own. timeless simple and yet modern from her beginnings in that hamburger tick in the one nine hundred sixty s. to her then if as an international fashion brand german designers and sander has never wavered from her vision of a cool and androgynous look for women all through her career her creations have stood out for their seamless blend of strength and femininity and now the museum of applied arts in frankfurt has made sounder the subject of a solo exhibition. presence gives an insight into the world that jil sander created and in which she also found inspiration the list of her creative achievements includes fashion perfume and accessories like no other her name stands for elegant simplicity and reserve success has come due or

not only as a designer but also as a business woman she's built a flourishing international empire at one time she modeled her own campaigns today she rarely appears in public. this is on the final just sandor is a revolutionary because once again she questions things fundamentally among noisy haka trademarks are high quality fabrics a feminine silhouette and clearly defined lines before her designs found success the collections were often criticized as knock offs of men's fashion. which is on top of honeymoon just under gave women a chance to stand out as intelligent people rather than just as women it was very important to her personally as well in the said once she admitted that she was making fashion primarily for herself because she wanted to appear as

a business woman or an entrepreneur who could be taken seriously if she didn't want to be pushed into playing her gender role as a woman she wanted her character her personality her will to come across and soon explored the interest in jill sander as a person remains unbroken she's heralded as a model for fashion designers the world over. heels sanders style moves between yesterday and today and tomorrow she rejected the idea of a retrospective as a result there's no chronological order for the exhibition pieces. jill saunders fashion is a timeless in tucson. says at the worst one that she's maintained her style even through periods with entirely different looks such as the wild punk era and through the one nine hundred eighty s. with their broad shoulders. she carried on with her line and became timeless that way she's also timeless in the sense that she's been in the business for

a little fifty years or so she's a bridge hole and remain true to our own style instant or it could be just. her utterly a was recreated for the exhibition mood boards the starting point for collections of examples of patterns materials and fabrics you won't find many strong colors here. as to this but with the stylist dearest that means whatever is not essential is taken out there's not much ornament or print what we see in the background is an exemption that's our last collection she really freed herself really relaxed and hence the prince look at this thing to the book and the books producer and are

creating is one of life's great motivators. the museum building in frankfurt designed by richard meyers some of her concept perfectly she's organized the rooms according to her design principle less is more . that they do i'm told as if the fight got the impression that there's light filled architecture from richard my i gave her an instant feeling of well being. yourself in the building agrees with her notion of modernity as well as transparency clarity inside and out we are and that she could instantly imagine having. first ever exhibition him your last read by dest often hits a lot. even in the design of her garden journal sender leaves nothing to chance perfection to the last detail. the visitors can get a bird's eye view of it here. or fashion still comes across as timeless

but was it the jewel sander was searching for. it was trying to find the spirit of the time the zeitgeist but i think she influenced that spirit into the planked. the exhibition continues until may sixth two thousand and eighteen in frankfurt. and over to london now where a designer jewel with quite a different vision kicks off today's express. london's famous department store howards has officially assured in the christmas season. this year the design do odo church it guv'nor has been commissioned to recreate a new tell you in christmas market. hiring designers to bring the christmas spirit to life is an annual tradition of guards.

this year's market will be open until december twenty eighth. sagna of norway and norwegian pop star money if you go home and have open an exhibition of their work and or has done mark the artist spent about eighteen months preparing for the show the proceeds from the exhibition will be going to the queen sagna print award foundation the eighty year old scandinavian royal has been showing her work regularly since two thousand and six. the former member of the band hot money a few. points on you of norway at an art workshop in new york and they decided to hold an exhibition. celebrating its first birthday since it was opened the new concert hall and landmark has become one of the most popular sites in your more than four million

people have visited the concert hall in the last twelve months many visitors say their favorite part of the visit is taking the long tube up to the plans our observation deck from up there visitors have a breast taking view of hamburg. has a household name for diehard fans of ninety's music alex christensen a german composer producer and d.j. who's worked with diverse big name acts such as right said fred tom jones and even sarah brightman well now he's back with a brand new album of ninety's hits this time in castro arrangement. the ninety's are back with an ok still sound alex christensen is paying homage to the decade with his new recordings.

the music producer believes the time is right to revisit the songs of the era yes he's doing it in order to get i think the night is a bank because it feels like it was then they were extremely carefree times there was big events and anyone could go a lot so there weren't any barriers or anything like that it was worry free let's all feeling you want to recover at some stage. let's work on. carefree and easy going that could be said of alex custance is music from that time to.

mourn christensen even helped make mark walberg famous back when the hollywood star was better known for being a convicted felon and aspiring rapper. i know just one thing in particular he was unbelievably professional in that everything from his diet to his routine learning lyrics getting to a place it was always very organized he did look like he smoked a lot of dope and done some stupid things but those were adolescent followers i'm somehow you got the sense that with the right influence he could do more. distance and went on to produce stars like paul anka and michael bolton. because i had in my own. dark in the studio i could never see him i don't know if he was really singing he always sang behind a curtain because who knows maybe consing coming i think but even a successful music producer can have a setback in the two thousand and nine eurovision song contest his act with lawyer
