that tampa previously said earth was just a messy chemistry lab and i want to talk machine the son of. where's the i'm. going to lose the most of the creation of our solar system which our planet is a bit like winning the lottery that there is a legal. one for earth or more to me start september 18th on d w. a few new science bent things to you because they serve the truth better than the facts i've seen folk in.

civil suits. that have zogby is a film legend the german director has made over 70 felton's 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 songs 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. among them was that i would make films that i was also a kind of poet. he hated and it was always clear to me that i would do this better than others. and it was also clear that since i knew little about film and had seen almost nothing i would have to invent cinema myself. is.

this 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 helps og's trademark. in 1979 released nosferatu his amash to 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. but it could give you blood personally. please

let me do it it's you. forget it it's hardly worth mentioning just a little cut. 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 as a bavarian in hollywood hollywood. since even because you know the cult status is a term you should only touch with pincers. 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 a 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. the 2nd would have been the only person able to make this car all go. 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 hair talks work. he's into if you've been an extreme environments extreme situations what drives you to this

day to seek out these extremes. he says makes the 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 headstock is also a nonconformist in hollywood for. a period with the will of his own kind of guy. and a passion for unhinged characters. not just. with the general you've called bad lieutenant of a very in film solvents for

a while and baroque. wilder than the wildest drinkers at oktoberfest it really goes to extremes and. back to the big. surely. what for all still dancing. see how you never went to film school thank goodness 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 so you can see everything else is technical committee left to the technicians and take in this disconnect to. see if you can learn about filmmaking from veron or has a song on line for example who looks use a storyboard in concert instrumentals to cowards you can learn the same switzer filmmaking. but there's more scripted ro 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. this i. can do give us there are only 2 things i tell people they're really learning. the 1st time out or pick a safety lock using a surgical instrument. and 2nd how to fake a filming permit to not get caught. in let's recently i've switched to doing more workshops. things 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. see what you can come up with and deliver the results in 9 days' time and some great films came out of it with. a good eye 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 honest historical suicide mission. in the end klaus kinski a good day goes mad in a scene that wrote film history. not

. with. a good eye and later fitzcarraldo r.t. made headlines during shooting largely due to the unpredictable lead actor klaus kinski he made 5 films with hats on the works through their productive love hate relationship in a documentary. they don't want to go public and if i was there or. more than that the darker it was a rich person who started small now the yorks didn't talk much about you but then because of that you know. i was not looking so i was i'm probably going to join the sports committee and i'm the president can. be sucked into this and the 2nd right and got this feeling. some green lost didn't get lost in your star they're still actors as extreme as klaus kinski was he intended instance extreme i don't consider him extreme one can see he was kinski obvious.

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 at the world's best with christian bale. nicolas cage nicole nicole kidman. tom cruise it is then why no one. not any one of them. ever came close to porno as is the charisma. or his ability to convey isolation and parady. to write this blog 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. in the skittish scene i didn't mind. being in the states but with little subtle yet big fish he did loose a little spot on the side that didn't find him and think. just listening to stuff the clip just released. is big. city not just a fairly good. there are others who have similar biographies but who don't have the depth and presence onscreen employ no a stand. pales in comparison. as does nicholas cage nicolas cage and tom cruise to talk. then i had thought worked with tom cruise on the action thriller

jack reacher but this time had socks did in front of the camera playing an evil gang leader i. spent my 1st winter wearing a tech man's coat out in one. case before the frostbite turned green. the how was it how did you manage to be that evil. or was it was ever this totally effortless work. so i didn't have to do a screen test and i knew that i could do it with us i earned good money for being terrifying on screen. that he's. been so many other stick not. van i have thought 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 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 examples out there. are. now those in the end he was himself killed by a bear. my. jury is going after treadwell's death in 2003 hertzog followed his trail right to the bitter and. skipped and. taught for 2 moves he trained for and on so there's an audio recording of the death of timothy treadwell and his girlfriend. libby both of them were eaten by a bear eaten alive piece by piece or did say and the distributors and producers

absolutely wanted this recording 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 comes to see an infant can turn into. 2 must never listen to this i never heard her pimp ever go into. the sink you know you should not keep it you should destroy it yeah. it's anything she can see 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 hair thug 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 a 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 mention i'm told this 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 if there is no escaping that then of course there are certain boundaries there. respect respect dignity. due to

respect the condemned person's human dignity. same sparring this 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 and 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 right 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. 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 isn't much i also recognise. me but i don't worry about it for me they're all films. for 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 found. in folk.

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 have taught me 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. in that 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 shooting center on my gave him headphones and said listen. this is how we'll do it would be understood immediately

. else reisa goes music evokes the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. to the scene i'm to me all there were one and a half 1000000 swifts which came out of the sky in a huge swarm and flew in circular movements into their nests behind a huge waterfall. goodness and it was overwhelming. and the music is equally overwhelming. the sound sorry these who 1st raised 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 shreve. enhance august films music itself is often a performer such as in the chauvet cave where dreiser goes music brings the prehistoric paintings to life. in 2019 the van i had thought foundation awarded the prize to reisa 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 of doing business here in new york he's an extraordinary visionary. 2 and dazed in the dark even tough he's able to transform an entire

world with music and to transform a world of images and suddenly 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 clean at the by a white festival in 1987. 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 that he can help operates according to different rules. from directors counted.

spector used the same criteria and the same working methods as they do in the cinema that was always clear so i told the singers and the others that we had to forget that i work in film and i said that we had a task and that there would only be an opera when the whole world transformed into music and you can see belt in music from it. so it's unfair back to film you've been in some very extreme places in the mountains in the amazon underwater 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 or you leave and toss in many could mark a cultural roots are here by 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 defended this incident of it it's a taco mist consensus and. yes scott it's a cinch to its own country it. will someday miss the tumbling of the earth

apocalyptic imagery more than 50 years after launching his career cats are still seeks soul schemes on the edges of the planet's. plans to burst forth he calls this what you're doing here. is 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 distances go taste well to begin with i think it's crow task is really more 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. last year i made 3 films my. mothers need 6 to 8 years to do that. 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 and have to be rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair. he ordered to other than to help thank you in spite of the pleasure of.
