teetotally. not proud and they will not succeed in dividing us so that i'll not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of this dictatorship. taking a stand global news that matters. made for minds. around the field of science bent things to you because they serve the truth better than the facts asking for can. simply. sit.

together how solid is a film legend the german director has made over 70 films ranging from art house to big hollywood productions he's traveled to the ends of the earth and peered into the depths of the human soul. he mentions the movie the most. he's created iconic characters to images in feature films and documentaries. always searching for a deeper truth his perspective is investigative and radically subjective van i have song of the adventurer. we met up with this great cinematic storyteller in munich where his story began.

when did it become clear to you that you had to and could make films. when i was around 14 or 15 years old when various things happened at the same time which made my fate apparent to me. and 6. among them was that i would make films that i was also a kind of poet. the. and it was always clear to me that i would do this better than others. it was also clear that since i knew little about film and had seen almost nothing i would have to invent the cinema myself. if i was.

in the. very 1st feature film was a declaration of war on the triviality of post-war german cinema. and this anarchic surreal and disturbing drama about towards raising a riot at a correctional facility caused controversy upon its release in 1970 s. . showing the point of view of outsiders and people on society its fringes became hets og's trademark. in 1979 released nosferatu his almost f.w. more now silent film classic much more than a remake it was his 1st big international production the night it suited could be duty. it good gif you personally. please let me do it. oh forget it it's hardly worth

mentioning just. even you know as i feel you've lived in los angeles in the heart of the dream factory for many years. you've said you don't really feel part of the german film scene but in the us you enjoy a cult status at the very end in hollywood hollywood who. could start a sense for us and see them because if you know the cult status is a term you should only touch with pincers so but it gets really wild when i show up in brazil for example or in russia poland ireland or algeria all hell breaks loose when i show up there with films. you say i'm part of the city with the dream factory but no i'm not part of it and i don't really belong to a german film either. i actually belong to something more regional to the variant films from the baroque in the world weary and that's why i sometimes say that apart

from me you know dick the 2nd would have been the only person able to make its corrado. it's going to do more who couldn't. fitzcarraldo is the story of an eccentric adventurer aiming to build an opera house in the amazon rain forest. fitzcarraldo was a visionary with a mission. but the fact that you don't see what comes up and. someone who is prepared to defy gravity to realize his life's dream pushing boundaries is a constant theme and hertz all this work. he's into if you've been in extreme environments extreme situations what drives you to the state to seek out these extremes. he says. i don't actually see counter

extremes rather i consider what i do to be normal. people are always saying shooting in the amazon rain forest is so extreme. but look it's just a forest. this is more involved. katsav return to the jungle again for the vietnam war drama rescue dawn that was a big american production but head fog is also a nonconformist in hollywood for. the theory and with the will of the. senate. and a passion for unhinged characters. with the. you've called bad lieutenant of a very in film there so once he gets a wild and baroque. wilder than the wildest drinkers or colbert fest really goes to

extremes stick won't go back to the brigade. surely guess what for all his soul still dancing. see how you never went to film school thank goodness see how you don't think much of them schools why. i think they're completely misconceived. and basically poor film students are cooped up there for way too long. for 3 or 4 years. in 3 or 4 years they could shoot 3 features instead of sitting around there learning film theory or other such nonsense. they can learn everything they need to know in a week. and everything else is technical committee left to the technicians and

taking this disconnect. here you can learn about filmmaking from veron or had song on line for example to not use a storyboard i think it's an instrument of the cowards you can learn the same sorts of filmmaking. but there's more scripted bro film school i founded the rogue film school. it was designed to be the exact opposite of everything you'd normally learn in film school and. the same can be give us there are only 2 things i tell people they really learn. the 1st time out or pick a safety lock using a surgical instrument. and 2nd how to fake a filming permanent and not get caught. in let's recently i've switched to doing more workshops. those are just as something in the amazon rain forest in peru. and in the 1st minute of the 1st meeting i said

the topic of your show. the framework is delirium in the jungle so. see what you can come up with and deliver the results in 9 days' time and some great films came out of it will post. a good read the wrath of god was also shot in the south american jungle it's the tale of a 16th century spanish conquistador searching for el dorado this feverish drama tackles imperialism greed and meddling mania shot in documentary style it follows a good day on his historical suicide mission. in the end klaus kinski a good day goes mad in a scene that wrote film history. but . this was. a good day and later

fitzcarraldo r.t. made headlines during shooting largely due to the unpredictable lead actor klaus kinski he made 5 films with parents ought to work through their productive love hate relationship in a documentary. they don't want to talk about your new friends or don't already know more than that it was a rich person who started small bad with yours didn't talk much about you but then because of that you know. i was not oh and ok so i was wrong for he didn't want to join the sports community and i'm the person can . be sucked into it and if he's in the 2nd i know you've got this feeling. some green the last of me and austin you're the star they're still actors as extreme as klaus kinski was. infin didn't. consider him extreme. he was kinski and in a certain sense he was

a singular figure but he wasn't the best actor i worked with. the deepest and best one was bruno s. who played the title roles in costume house. i've worked with the world's best with christian bale. nicolas cage nicole kidman. it is and no one. not any one of them. ever came close to bono as is the charisma. or his ability to convey isolation and paresi. this long that was likely due to his real life as a musician she practically 23 years after school from his childhood onwards he kept getting put away in correctional institutions and later in jail and then other places where he didn't belong then just see i mean my. being

in this would be to little subtly are big things she did loose a little this was a little aside i didn't think. just listening to stuff that would flip the feast. to speak to the listener z.b. not. only could. there are others who have similar biographies but who don't have the depth and presence on screen that bono s did. pales in comparison. as does nicholas cage nicolas cage and tom cruise to the top. then i had thought worked with tom cruise on the action thriller jack reacher but this time had songs did in front of the camera playing an evil gang leader. and my 1st winter. coat

holding what it. should. be for the frostbite turned green. the how was it how did you manage to be that evil. force it was effortless totally effortless work. so i didn't have to do a screen test in life and i knew that i could do it with us i earned good money for being terrifying on screen. at least. twice how many other states not. valid how song has his own unique perspective on the world and people his documentaries also focus on eccentric and obsessive types like fanatical animal rights activist timothy treadwell. i'm here with one of my favorite pairs expressed

a chocolate iris chocolate has been with me for the grizzly man spent his summers in alaska and lost all sense of distance between himself and the bears these animals out there. are. now those in the end he was himself killed by a bear. my mind. how many jurors after treadwell's death in 2003 hertzog followed his trail right to the bitter and . skipped and. taught from timothy traitor and so there's an audio recording of the death of timothy treadwell and his girlfriend and. you both of them were eaten by a bear eaten alive piece by piece the law you call detail and the distributors and producers absolutely want to disregarding to be in the film and so i said ok i'll listen to it. and i listened to it and it was so incredibly horrifying that i said

only over my dead body will this make it into the film he come to see me in film can turn into. you. 2 must never listen to this i never heard her pimp ever go into. i think you know you should not keep it you should destroy it you know. it's an eating sequences it since ethical boundary individually toward because the dignity and the privacy surrounding an individual's death must not be violated. period period perfect.

yet hertz are didn't shy away from interviewing condemned prisoners awaiting execution for as many series on death row. as a german coming from a different historical background and being a guest in the united states i respectfully disagree with the practice of capital punishment and help me move forward i've watched several episodes of your series on death row what boundaries were you confronted with there. when see. it's mentioned and told us when you talk with and film people on death row with people who know that they're going to be executed in 8 days. and there's no escaping that. then of course there are certain boundaries there. respect respect dignity. due to respect to condemned persons human dignity.

james barnes is one of them. in order to film a death row inmate you have to be invited by him in writing. i was behind the camera you only ever hear my voice. but behind the camera i wore a formal suit in time which i almost never do it was a sign i respect you respect. they were always very open with you. meant for me in the very 1st moment. and that's a question of how you work as a director. you can only do that if you know the heart of man. if you can look deep into their souls then it works it's looking at your films the boundaries between documentary and feature film are really fluid. do you still differentiate between them oh sure there's

a big difference much i also recognize. but i don't worry about it for me they're all films. you once said facts do not constitute truth per se. in this age of the internet and fake news what's the truth beyond the facts that you seek. if you have the facts can be misleading the truth is created or certain layers deeper layers are created through stylization through invention through imagination. the supposedly realistic picture often seen in documentaries is a misconception. which is why i say i invent things too because they serve the truth better than the fact that. sting fuck. back in south america again in the impenetrable tropical rain forest of guyana

against the spectacular backdrop of chi to a falls a mythical location for the indigenous population. this is where hats all made the white diamond a documentary about dreams and the limitations of technology. the dream of flying a floating above the earth here to hertz og dared to experiment. with case we had the music 1st. so in the rain forest the camera man asked me how are you going to do it with the rhythm in the shoot center on my given headphones and said listen. this is how we'll do it would be understood immediately . else right there

goes music evokes the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. and the scene i'm the type there were one and a half 1000000 swifts which came out of the sky in a huge swarm influenced circular movements into their nests behind a huge waterfall. and it was overwhelming. and the music is equally overwhelming. this one sorry these who 1st raised who are the singers were sardinians who almost all have prehistoric voices. and they started singing with far too much energy and the meter was far too clear so i stood up and made flying movements for them and they understood. and suddenly the movement became that of an eagle gliding from

shri. enhance ogg's films music itself is often a performer such as in the show vacate where dreiser goes music brings the prehistoric paintings to life. in 2019 the vendor had sought foundation awarded a price or i said he was praised for creating spaces with his music that were larger than what could be seen on the screen. that is so i'm sick you do is hear me and he's an extraordinary visionary. 2 in the log even thought he's able to transform an entire world with music and to transform a world of images and suddenly you the combination of music and images gives rise

to something new and different that the audience can perceive and experience in a different way. than i have towards relationship with music is a story of its own. he has also staged many operas going back to wagner again and again his 1st time was knowing playing at the by a white festival in 1987. video of him clearly many of your colleagues vendors last frontier were also supposed to direct and buy rights but they shied away from doing it what's so difficult about staging wagner is scale and operates according to different rules. from directors counted. thank you use the same criteria and the same working methods as they do in

the center that was always clear and i told the singers and the others that we had to forget that i were controlling i said that we had a task and that there would only be an opera when the whole world transformed into music and he can see built in music from it. so that some fear back to film you've been in some very extreme places in the mountains in the amazon under water in the desert on the ice caps is there anything else that you're still seeking or that you'd like to explore more. i'd like to go to the space station or to the moon. or i'd like to make a short visit to mars if that ever becomes possible mobs in this and. this is

bavaria still your home even though you haven't lived here for 20 years but you're leaving soon many of my cultural roots are here right my 1st language was a very and i miss it actually and when i'm traveling around the world i miss the fact that i never hear bavarian dialect being spoken. ish i defend it is a bit of it it's a talk list culture this end. just go to it's a cinch to its own country as it. sunk to miss the tumbling of the earth apocalyptic imagery more than 50 years after launching his career had sought still

seeks sole scapes on the edges of the planet. he said it plans to burst forth to. this country not doing. its middle of you have been winning prizes for your lifetime achievement for 10 years now this time it's from the european film academy. how does that feel. so next time i mean if you distance a school taste well to begin with i think it's grotesque really and of course it's a little strange because i'm still in the middle of my work. and now my output is higher than it was 30 or 40 years ago i think i feel secure last year i made 3 films but i. know others need 6 to 8 years to do that yog the day before yesterday i was still shooting in norway on a new film and in less than

a week i'll be in mexico to continue it. isn't so much to get this prize 10 years after i stopped making films that have to be rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair. you wanted to add it that a house thank you its predecessor ago.
