Bruno Ganz. Behind Me

Norbert Wiedmer

A three-year journey with actor Bruno Ganz. He plays various roles in various places, but he also plays Bruno Ganz – filming and directing friends. Again and again he works on the role of Dr. Faust, the figure who – speaking for us all – desperately wants to discover “what holds the world together at the core”. A thousand days of searching for one's own destiny, with despair as the only companion, and placing hope in the creative power of poetry.

Bruno Ganz - Schauspieler

Director Wiedmer's personal access to the great actor Bruno Ganz – who first captured the world's imagination as the “fallen angel” in Wim Wenders' “Wings of Desire – is fundamental to this fascinating documentary. Their intimate conversations in Ganz's Zurich apartment are at the heart of the film and run the full gamut: revealing anecdotes from Ganz's childhood, Ganz's most important films and theatrical roles, and discussions on the relationship between art and politics. Clips from film and theatre performances provide an important reference to Ganz's immense body of work, including takes straight from the set of Ganz's latest film, Oliver Hirschbiegel’s DOWNFALL. Written by German producer Bernd Eichinger, Ganz plays Hitler during the German dictator’s last days in his Berlin bunker.
