11:46 am
exhibition written by a curated himself and tragically also. in books selected the works he chose the works that meant the most to him so this really is a display of his legacy. and some it has to be tellin it was a fashion photographer who was never really interested in fashion he liked to shoot in black and white stripping away glossy surfaces and pioneering a more naturalistic style it was the personality of his models that fascinated him as an artist he was always in pursuit of authenticity. i think that wrinkles and experience reflective in faces are much more interesting than what people are used to seeing today. was never obsessed by new for

his models included older icons such as french actress shannon oval he was inspired by self-confident strong women and how to read ability to capture the soul of some of the world's most photographed women like hollywood stars human salmon and nicole kidman. and in return they appreciated that he liked them to be real and natural eye. his unpretentious approach made him many famous friends in the industry one that was worlds away from his hometown of 2 spot in western germany. i see the man. be the lynn burkett the for. shish. yeah the contact he had to touch people and he can you can tell that that's not a point there's no longer here. he's here.

peter lindbergh's photos tell of human vulnerability they question the superficiality of showbusiness they tell stories. whether he was photographing he always managed to get to that very. office as a spy as roman polanski his film has just been nominated for 12 seasons the french oscars but it's the film has been subject to a backlash after polanski himself related the plot of the film to his own sexual abuse case back in 1900 g.s. and further accusations of harassment and assault against him now have more recently come to light i'll be talking about the film and the controversy surrounding it with my colleague mike a kuga off the whole report why don't you back the classic. also not

5th on when he saw the can i just know. you can say to gambino did i just simply shoot you call got me i think that even though me thank you i fight only proposed guilty a military court convict an officer treason captain down for dreyfus is publicly humiliated and sent to prison. for the 4th year that he should pray for us is jewish the evidence against him is not just weak it's fabricated. even when the real german spy is exposed the authorities do nothing to overturn the false conviction it's a true story from france high flying lieutenant colonel george works to uncover the judicial scandal he's more concerned about the principle of justice than the fights of the jewish overstock. but soon he becomes the hunted.

in an age of resurgent anti semitism the film has struck a chord many critics have hailed the film as another polanski masterpiece. but polanski is making headlines of the reason. krueger who did not report joins you know did i just see roman polanski in the very good yes it was indeed a cameo he was the guy with a moustache oh ok. before we talk about the controversies let's talk about the film it's got all getting awards or being nominated for awards so it's seems to be pretty good yeah it's a very narrative driven film with a very strong story and it's also about fake news we all know about today yes the movie has already won prizes for example at the venice film festival he's also nominated for the european film awards and. a couple of days ago it was announced
11:51 am
that he is nominated for 12th season the most important french film award and it's the most nominations this year absolutely so it's quite successful and the when the president of the acts i mean this is out a lot has yeah was asked about the controversy he just set well we're not the forum for debate but that doesn't mean that there isn't while polanski was celebrated women's groups have really. raised against him even when the protesters but kept away from him here we are there were some of them every it was an odd give all the seasons to tweet of for example one of the french women's groups so it took awhile for the me to movements to take off in france but here we go in the recent years that behavior from celebrity was often kind of smile the way even stars like cutting the nerve she was speaking read it against open it against the movement but

in the meantime she changed her mind now polanski has said the persecution of dreyfus is similar to his hounding by the authorities concerning how the geishas or sexual abuse against him he claims to be a victim of course this is met with quite a lot of criticism absolutely but he refers to the new accusations another woman. has just come forward who claimed to have also been raped and beaten as a young woman by him but in this new case he rejects all accusations he said this is ridiculous and in a recent interview with the. newspaper he said the public wants to turn him into a monster even census intrigue and that he sees the parallels with dreyfus he also said that he doesn't want to identify with him this would be too much but i have to say. it seems so he does see himself as the victim. it's already known
11:53 am
in the case it myths of being guilty when he expelled from the oscar committee and 2018 what he appealed against it was very briefly the anti semitic aspect absolutely in the case of dreyfus polanski using his jewishness to cry wolf well he is not just jewish he's survived the ghetto in poland he lost family members and bosh oh and when he things history could repeat and this attitude i think is really credible michael as always thank you caesar's will will there on the 28th of several will be of the final all absolutely how many seasons he wins all doesn't win the fights. now an exhibition in the styles in the swiss city of zurich that makes us think about the relationship we have with op planet that has been the overriding topic of danish icelandic. in recent years and is not all
