One Hand washed the other: If a Irm Hermann took the highly controversial Christoph Schlingensief seriously*, then this pacified a part of the criticism. And you, in turn, allowed it to perfect their art, be it in popular Genres, and experimental forms such as the works by Ulrike Ottinger (“Johanna d’arc of Mongolia”).

Especially in comedies – from veterans like Loriot (“Papa ante Portas”) and Rudolf Thome (“Paradiso – Seven days with seven women”) to Peter Timm (“My brother is a dog”), Lola Randl (“The invention of love”) or, most recently, Bora Dagtekin (“Fack ju Göhte 3”).

The complex working and living community with Fassbinder* transferred some of it painful in the reality. In 1975, she moved to stroke through her move to Berlin in a final to play later in “Berlin Alexanderplatz” and “Lili Marleen” under his direction. Fassbinder’s abusive behavior towards her is also the subject of Oskar roehler’s new Biopic “Enfant Terrible”, actually the 75. Birthday of the Director on the 31. May have to come to the cinema.
