Actor Dominic Raacke immediately thinks of ,Pulp Fiction’: “It was style-defining – for the Americans and for us. Producing an old form of film and making that the stylistic device and breaking the whole thing with a cool star cast.” Comedian Bernhard Hoëcker finds it especially good “when, in addition to the action, there is also a story that gives the whole thing substance”.
At the keyword “favorite rogue”, Oliver Kalkofe does not have to think long: “Alan Rickman in ,Die Hard I’. He brought such danger, such coolness into it that I thought, if there were an Oscar for the best villain, he would have deserved it immediately.” Tom Cruise played an especially brutal bad boy in “Collateral”. Christian Berkel has known since the filming of ,Valkyrie’ that he is not such a bad boy in private
is: “He is completely different from the picture of him drawn in public. Very open, very intense in his work, incredibly prepared and tremendously interested in everyone around him being treated very well.”
Not quite as nice is the TV producer Moritz Bleibtreu plays in the satire ,Free Rainer – Your TV Lies’: “He is a destroyer who draws his only joy in life from closing himself off.” And what exactly is the film about? “That one should exercise healthy criticism of what is currently going on on television. Especially with regard to the public broadcasters, which increasingly
do everything to move closer to the private broadcasters. Which I find a pity, as long as I am one of the few people in this country who pays GEZ fees.”
