Werner Schroeter(1945-2010)

Director
Writer
Cinematographer

The key person of the New German Cinema of the '70s. His works, mostly shot in 16mm, combine an intense interest and knowledge of German history and personal dramatic and emotional investigations. Malina (1991) which stars Isabelle Huppert is one of the great classics of modern cinema and deals with a perpetually burning apartment, a crazed love affair, and the definitions of the soul. A rare treat.
