Irm Hermann: From Berliner Republik bis Mea Culpa

I first met Christoph Schlingensief in 1987, when he cast me for his film Schafe in Wales
[Sheep in Wales]. He was still fairly unknown at the time, and at first glance he struck me
as a good-looking young middle-class man who had manners; every mother-in-law’s perfect dream. Yet behind the bourgeois façade lurked a great seducer, who would use his overwhelming charm to drive me into the craziest acts of self-abandonment, something I had not experienced since my time with Rainer Werner Fassbinder. After Fassbinder, with whom I spent a formative chapter of my life, from 1966 until his death in June 1981, and to whom I owe my very personal “Éducation sentimentale” in matters artistic as well as personal, working with Christoph now cast a similarly fascinating spell over me that mixed pleasure, fear, and curiosity. more…

Alexander Kluge: The Complete Version of a Baroque Invention by Christoph Schlingensief

Jewish tombs in the twelfth century bear an emblem: a hare. In 1943, the symbol on the stones attracted the attention of Oberrottenführer Hartmut Mielke when his convoy was bulldozing Jewish cemeteries in central Germany so that the sites could be used for the construction of water tanks for fire trucks. The motif returns on tombstones from the seventeenth century: outstretched, prone hares “sleeping” or “slain.”
The Oberrottenführer, who was a dedicated local historian in his spare time, knew that this use contrasted with pagan depictions of hares in Celtic areas south of the Rhön Mountains, where hares are documented as appearing on sacrificial stone altars, but not on tombs. more…

A Chance Acquaintance

By 1984 I had grown tired of meeting market deadlines in my writing about movies. No launching date? No text! So it was welcome news that the people at Hamburg’s Abaton theater had put together a series of Unknown films by unknown young German directors. I went, curious to see a movie, any movie, without the constraint of having to deliver a review. Tunguska—Die Kisten sind da [Tunguska—The Boxes Have Arrived], by a guy whose name I would learn over time to pronounce without stumbling. Schlingensief. more…
