Edges i had strong figures maybe people see that in me. Shes a real powerhouse prize winning film director and well known actress whos equally at home in film and television yet still regularly tears up the stage. We meet her at the offices of Production Company x. During the Berlin International Film Festival when the whole city is in a film fever. For. The barrel of a cell of. Its 70th anniversary this year what star is a really what role does the Film Festival play for you personally in your career. Then you know im finished as i feel berlin is my city even though i listened born here but ive been living here since before the fall of the wall and i think people also identify me with the city and in turn i identify with the festival in festival. For 10 days the Film Industry takes over berlin girl and attracts stars and filmmakers hollywood productions and independent movies and schroder is in the thick of things she in the festival go way back. In 1906 when she appeared on the ladies film silent night which was in the competition its 3 main characters are involved in a messy love triangle and decided to try to unpick the situation on Christmas Eve a different take on the festive season. And. Lets look at last. Night hes with us in just a few. Steps to do this is also because a. Lot of us just tell us a little bit of an icon and special show in my living nice of silent night became Something Like a small part of a new era from 9. To 999. 00 not be a shot it was one of the promising actors honored at the berlin are. Just a year later she was chosen as a member of the Film Festivals jury a big honor for a young actress. The big easy going here is still the villain bearer for the best actor to miss that Denzel Washington wasnt. I. But her most personal and moving festival memory has to be when amy and jaguar was in the competition at the berlin our. Bankers if you knew. At the premiere in 1999 try to accompany the real lilly voiced aka amy down the red carpet and the film is based on bushs experience which she 1st recounted in a book at the age of 80. Be a shot it was awarded the silver bearer for her performance in a man job for consumers have another she should. Know that it. Wasnt your typical film about the nazi era what was so news special and so provocative about that film get kind of well not a week goes by that im not asked repeatedly about amy and jack otter as have them and i think its because it was the 1st time at least in the german speaking world that a lesbian love story made it onto that they screen and told of homosexual love that didnt and of its own accord to have the most sex. And he saves to it and him and in a certain way amy and jack you are celebrates the love between these 2 women which doesnt suffer per se from the fact its a woman loving a woman but rather that the war comes between then and how i have kali jazz on it could come in that swishing. Berlin in 1903 the city is in ruins police are struck and haim is a jew living under an assumed name she doesnt wear yellow star and as a member of the underground though she lives with the constant threat of being caught she retains her dignity and lust for life while the world collapses around her and the last jews in berlin are being rounded up and sent to the death camps. Mox fabrics film also broke a taboo because it depicted the love of a jew for an anti semite. That transcended all boundaries. Of. Fixity can just as he. Says. Leave. The films touching love story develops in the most adverse of conditions not that its a timely interview cast because but their happiness proved short lived bullies aka jaguar is captured and sent to a concentration camp the lily is left behind all alone it will use your latest work as a director of the netflix mini series of unorthodox once again deals with judaism whats it about the moral. System the story of a very young woman who grows up in an extremely religious environment namely in the Satmar Community in williamsburg in brooklyn he was in Williamsburg Brooklyn in dare 1st languages english is only the 2nd and a shrewd fighter this is and this is a very closed Community Communities effect she grows up without the internet that she enters into an arranged marriage and that frees herself from this life one and flies to berlin i was living one 5th not believe. It. Mike. And. This is the 1st time of year shada has directed a series s. T. Only gets to meet her future husband once before they marry as part of an Ultra Orthodox Jewish community in new york her life is dominated by religious rules. A shot of paints a precise picture of this and chiller world after the euphoria of the wedding as he becomes her husbands property and is expected to be completely subservient to him. Among the things in the fell in the common. When he then in the in. The series is based on deborah feldmans International Bestseller on orthodox the scandalous rejection of my house citic roots it tells how she grew up and left he has said except margaret just like her theyre all s. T. Begins a challenging new life in berlin. My grandparents lost their whole families in the camps. And it was interesting how did you research this its a unique world into which we have little insight caught yeah naturally we went to new york a few times that havana williams we were in williamsburg and got to know these communities as much as it was possible to with our own eyes. And the land we were the guests of different. Amalie of course we also had expert advisors. And so i guess what happened to this woman is really a horror story of all parsi art this is the victim that is the biggest and most important goal i set for myself as the director of this project so i need to not let it become a story about which you could easily say its a horror story. And the ultimate lee its about an absolutely basic human need to go on sexless mentioned the. Namely the desire to belong yet retain your individuality. Individuality. And in my view thats also the field of tension in which the story in an orthodox takes place hes. Not docs this is the most boring thing you can do as a director is to patrol a completely predictable characters so its. His. Thats unfinished i feel that its my task to explore and depicts people with their complexities. In their pleasantries and unpleasant sides when im going to be in and their desires and their limits. Because then so. Where does your interest in jewish culture and characters and their stories stem from. From the folks in this estimate i went to israel for the 1st time when i was 14 of them i mean thats where i 1st encountered peter to. Ive been back to israel many times since and ive worked a lot with one jewish person in particular danny levy than anything. But it wasnt only a working relationship now he is the director danny levy were a couple for years thank you. Lady explored his own jewish roots in the giraffe shot of plays a German Jewish woman who moves back from new york to germany after her grandfathers factory is set on fire by anti semites then. Imo i really hope that your mother gets well. She died in. The role of a jew is also a type of label they are all very different individual characters. In darkness you play a jewish woman is nazi occupied poland you have to hide underground in darkness literally what was that experience like. He got in my character he had to spend 14 months in the sewers with 2 small children and her husband. It was claustrophobic and terrible the cast for bush hardly imaginable so. On we shot the film in wastewater tunnels and watch it to feed their habit in our case they were clean and i said you want to get it. And her family really survived in the sewers for 14 months he said sure. Oscar nominated film was based on a true story about a group of jews who escaped the deportations and massacres during the liquidation of the luvox ghetto by hiding in the sewers. Obvious shot up plays a character who refuses to give up hope in the darkest of times. My. Characters are always strong combative and stubborn what makes you want to play certain roles i mean. Mostly they probably have a kind of great vitality which has either been buried concealed that there is on the contrary very present or does. This. What you guys are not focused on yeah. You know i still if youre. Going. To have fun you cant. Get there you know horses for years theyve gotten. This could be because there are very few actors in germany a car successful both in front of the camera and behind it and on top of that they are often on the stage is theater so important for you to escape. There is nothing that forces an actor to be in the present as much as the stage. Have to be completely there and thats very powerful and inspiring. But dont just be a house of hamburg is it almost like maria hsia has a 2nd home. Come welcome to the bowels of the building. She is a long standing member of the ensemble. And this is where i live the heart is yours the wardrobe are these the costumes for tonight. Yes exactly. You know what ive lived here since the beginning since i started on. His 1st big love was the she studied drama at the renowned mox reinhard seminar in vienna at the age of 18 here in hamburg shes playing martha and Edward Albees 962. 00 classic about marital strife. Should. Have that guest. Yes its going to theres no doubt. Oh. Johns fine 5 which. I found sad that i didnt close up the got take out as i said. I. Guess. Its. Just a flash of idea charge the games he really drunkenly lay into each other is there anything left for us. Yes love. An appetite for life restlessness this is a quest for happiness. Let us finish its even if its theres something on fire in flames to something producing so many white blood cells. Creating an energy that chafes and ensures they dont give up this man and keep. The. Room. You keep your. Job. In the rear and i play with a great deal of energy. And this contributes to the lively nature of a performance even if something catches on the way as the energy never goes of trying. Its very moving and each performance is a new adventure. Even if it hits. The real house provides a fixed point in a life full of travel and different roles. These days trotter is also spending a lot of time directing such as the mini Series Adaptation of an orthodox. For most actors dont really find their way behind the camera why did you choose to take this. Season of. Fun ive always wanted to be shaping things to say that i started writing screenplays before i started acting in films but. Then i learned how to edit and how to write a treatment. How to get funds. And without that i probably would never have dared to make a feature length film called as i had to hold. The pings are going to have a problem how do you integrate your acting experiences into your director. Yeah. So im going on like others starting out with direct and ive got the great advantage of having been on many sets as an actress i cherish and i have observed many other directors men and women at work so couldnt even leave this leaving your directorial debut i love life it was about an excessive relationship between a young woman and an older man. But its about much more isnt it i can feel me. Yes this is after. On the one hand its an obsessive love affair but on the other say its also about a family the book i based it on is a young womans breathless monologue a woman who goes into an unknown space and does things that could be considered extremely unfeminist and nature when its extremely unfair in this this was probably what made this book so explosive and powerful women were attracted to the story but also repelled in equal measure. For her 1st foray into directing shada chose to adapt a controversial bestseller the film it in a foreign country love life is the tale of a young woman tangled up in a very unequal relationship. Complex in the house. This passionate but ill advised affair threatens to destroy our as life the camera follows her fate up close. The shot or shot her successful debut film in israel the political situation there only plays a peripheral role her focus is on love and dependency strada demonstrated great empathy for the after hours. She was very elegantly nice warm with me shes a woman too and she knows shes an actress do and she knows how much. Fear is involved. In love life is based on. Book of the same name. Not be a shot as adaptation shows a young woman torn between lust breaking taboos and willing submission. Yes. Your most successful film is probably your 2nd one as a director stefan spike farewell to europe what was it about stefan spikes fate that interested you. For defense like interests and yet in the us and i would describe it more as a film about exile and less as a film about the writer stefan. High up this it is that all possible to relocate your homeland. What is home actually how do you deal with language in this kind of cultural uprooting thats the real family. Yes its just i dont wish a team. Once hitler rose to power it spiked lead austria he lived in england in the us before emigrating to brazil in 1945 the writer was also an authority on politics. Its cool if its only a movie edition goes at it but if its only if he does feel injured some movie since. Its very kind of cool to tell me about the film delves into the psychology of a man torn apart by inner conflicts a universal theme this is a good Church Service where you mario always does projects that move between worlds but really work internationally and are conceived that way. So thats what cinematic language is all about today which tell you you dont make films just for germany but for the world and thats her greatest contribution by talking and. Kind and very important the should be means your own shots. That in a city to some in the world. After years in exile spike committed suicide. The film was highly praised for its restrained cinematic language. Barriers but whether shes in front of or behind the camera shot to never take speaking easy way out to ignore her work often tackles big historical themes like the events in the 1980 s. Which led to the fall of the berlin wall. And going to be. History plays a major role in almost all of your films t. V. Series deutschland 83. 00 covers part of the final decade of communist east germany you play an east german reconnaissance agent and what kind of woman issue. Is those who want to follow and then you know what i liked about lenore from the beginning was that shes a bit of a shadowy character. She plays with peoples lives exercises her power and is seemingly cold. But in the end in my view shes not simply cold i thought the. Rather she actually acts out of political convictions i was in the south. Pacific and i was entrenched and dont have to understand. The former political convictions she goes as far as to sell her own nephew sold to the east German Secret Service hes to serve as an agent in the west but 1st they have to break his will. Do that but thats fine and you have to. Keep in mind 50000 person invest in his room in. Doesnt. Shut his character appears to be ruthless and without scruples. Could be wrong. When he meets a house. So. That one party. I mean even the sequel dont slant 86. 00 trotters character is at the heart of the action which begins in angola. His Office Friends and existence. Faster than i have to do i think i can invest in and honest i didnt ask to be indeed the cias mc at the hands of the the hedge fund he did yeah thats divide says that god i think im the same as an editor. The Popular Series was seen around the world the next season deutschland 89 is now in production with try to reprising her role as lenore out. As it has released us prison as an actor the nicest thing about getting to play a character like this for 3 seasons is that you grow close to the people who write the character. And you contribute your own ideas. I think here we complemented one another quite nicely of should advise against your father into our shot after you perform on the theatrical stage of the coen film youre in front of and behind the camera your artistic ranch. Is there anything left for you to do for me except this thats writing is the thing im most afraid of. Where id say i have the fewest tools of the trade us to get me through crises some facts so i have a view hes in the fact that. This was probably why i have the greatest respect for writers of the spectrum outof for me writers who can come up with their own stories are really the crammed critics classify me either so that could be your next challenge that there may be in my next life.
