The pioneer of the new German movie will get a golden lion
The oldest and one of the big five international film festivals, in our nearby Venice, will be in the 82nd this year, as usual, as usual in late August and early September. The prestigious Golden Lion for life’s achievements will be given to the pioneer of a new German film, especially the director, but also the producer, screenwriter, actor, director of the opera and writer Werner Herzog.
The artistic director of the festival Alberto Barbera described Herzog as a tireless researcher who has moved the boundaries of film and storytelling throughout his career. During Herzog’s products he pointed out films Signs of life, Vampire nosferate, Aguirre, Srd of God, Fitzcarraldo, Spoiled lieutenant: New Orleans and Man bite. “I always tried to be a good movie soldier and that seems like a decoration for my work. Thank you, « the 82-year-old filmmaker responded to the news of the award. Currently in Ireland is making a movie Bucking Fastardin which they play sisters Rooney and Kate Maraand recently completed a recorded documentary in Africa – he is also intensively devoted to them – Ghost elephants. « I haven’t finished yet, » Herzog said of his further career.
This year’s winner, who is currently married to his third wife and has three children, was born in 1942 in Nazi Germany with the surname of Croatia’s mother Stipisic. He was renamed Herzog after his father, who did not live with his family because his surname seemed more magnificent to him; Herzog in German means Duke. Although he grew up in the remote Bavarian Alps, where he allegedly did not even know that cinema exists, his first short film was Herdacle recorded before he turned 20.
His most famous movie is probably Vampire nosferate (Nosiferate – Phantom der nacht1979), the processing of the 1922 silent film, which was made on the basis of a novel Dracula (Dracula1897) Irish pistil Bram Stoker. For the movie Director FW Murnau He had no copyright, so Count Dracula was Count Orlok. In Hercog’s film, the vampire was an original Dracula, because the copyright for the novel had already expired. It was portrayed mostly by an excellent player – and a much less exquisite person – Kinski kinskiwith whom Herzog made five films and his love was Isabelle Adjani.
Although Herzog was active primarily for the camera, it was often ahead. Even younger film lovers in this role learned him as the main villain, a psychopathic Russian mobster Zek in Hollywood hit Jack Reacher (2012) where the title character depicted Tom Cruise.
