with ice cream around the corner this. german invention just celebrated the anniversary. it was first shown in berlin in the fall of ten it seemed like the n.t.'s picture the art world had ever seen the monk by the sea by cars is a masterpiece of german romantic painting with a natural landscape functioning as a mirror of the soul well now thanks to virtual reality there's interest to the national gallery can immerse themselves in the painting and commune with the monk and more. a tiny figure standing on the beach in front of a rough sea in the sky a heaped up mountains of clouds. friedrichs the monk by the sea is

a radical image almost abstract and it's an icon of romantic painting but in eight hundred ten it shot friedrichs contemporaries. critiqued. contemporary critics. that it was in. a way because this work is. only a single figure can be seen on the beach which is otherwise deserted. but now the monk is entering the age of virtual reality with high tech glasses you can now immerse yourself in this masterpiece and meet the monk in a life size representation. of you lose yourself in a different world in super great. virtual reality experts in the national gallery have worked together on the project for one and a half years. we always try not just to reproduce the painting but to create a new world and in that way to interpret the painting and try to understand what

the painter was thinking. his vision was. here a virtual reality is more than just a gimmick the monk by the sea was extensively restored between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen seven layers of vanished had to be removed the dark and paint layer had obscured the image is true colors and it became apparent that casper darvish friedrich hadn't originally designed the picture quite so radically but actually rather conventionally the master romantic had put three boats in the picture the virtual reality experience reveals the sketch and also tries to convey to the user friedrichs ingenious use of paint to create his groundbreaking work. who would not want an image that opens up like

a new world and to be able to enter it and with this access you completely learn and experience what was previously simply not possible. and of course it should make you want to look at the original with fresh eyes to. and here's the chance for fans of german punk rockers dick taught to see the descent off band with some fresh eyes the new documentary. only live once gets up close and personal with a band that's still going strong after nearly four decades together let's take a look and a listen. the documentary follows detail on their twenty eight hundred tour to make the film director caught in a complex past accompanied the legendary german punk band as far as argentina but mainly through german. in switzerland.

helps with my house sort of you're just going to need not use me i think road pots because part of the film captures a host of backstage moments whether in the dressing room before a gig or. back on the bus after the show the camera was ever present. but then came a shock both tour and filming had to be interrupted when lead singer campaign zero suffered sudden hearing loss. but agreed to by just a little more laws in the past year that lead in the show is just a list of the old tricks. up the eventually made a full recovery and the tour continues part of a complex process presenting her completed film at the berlin international film

festival this past february it's an intimate portrait of one of germany's most beloved rock band. and joining me in the studio now is called aloud coblentz possed so happy you could be here director co-director actually all of the talking horse and you only live once paul dugdale is also working on that with you welcome to the studio here this evening one of germany's most beloved rock bands we just heard the line there i want to pick up on that and can you maybe explain for our no one german viewers the mystique of the of the total who isn't and their significance for german popular culture. yeah i think that's very interesting because they have been existence and start seven years already they were founding themselves. too which was

a little bit later than punk originally was happening but. generally they discovered still lives didn't do sort of and then they made something else out of it i think they. developed with the fans getting older and getting more mature and also reaching a more mainstream audience today but also i have all always been political and reflecting german. everyday life and a lot of the current issues absolutely what's special about this film for you. the great thing was that i was allowed to full everything behind the scenes so backstage everywhere access or area which was really unique and grade and so i had a great insight into what is happening behind the stage and for the concerts and you had worked with country no before and it's younger days in two thousand and six and i think again in two thousand and eight so there was really

a gap of ten years between then and making this film how how did that how was it different and how did the band evolve over that time well i think it was interesting because in those ten years they had a very very big hit biggest hit of all korea was targeted. and then i heard of kind of oh yeah. some years ago but this is really the biggest of the ever had and i think also angela merkel used you can paint which they didn't like so much but i think it really is the song it was used on sooner road and every occasion you could and stadiums so i think that was really happening a lot with the band so they could fill stadiums after that and you traveled all the way to argentina for this film are hugely popular there but also. all over latin america how did that happen and. is their audience any different there in germany

i think they're really crazy these absentee and sounds because they have i mean the those who are there have playing there i think twenty years ago the first time where there was a big crisis in argentina and nobody wanted to play there and they came just because one of them to come and so they were so grateful and thankful that the fans stayed old that. your film will be released in argentina at some point and what's next and you've made films about such a wide variety of people what's next on your agenda. just right no i'm writing a screenplay for a feature film. which is really a very very difficult topic after you know hard you. should really. well i think she's one of the. not so nice persons of our history but i think it's really interesting to look at her which you love to accept goblets
