...lent it to William Wyler's The Collector, Volker Schlöndorff's The Tin Drum, George Miller's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Paul Mazursky's Enemies; A Love Story and Jerry Zucker's Ghost. He could churn out military music in a minor key, like a sarcastic Sousa; that's what you hear under the espionage chicanery in Alfred Hitchcock's Topaz, ornamenting the anti-Nazi smuggling in John Frankenheimer's The Train and underlining the grand folly of two British soldiers' Afghanistan caper in John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King. At times Jarre mocked...
...criticism of other German filmmakers who've tackled the same subject - such as Volker Schlöndorff in his 2000 film The Legend of Rita - is that they focus too much on trying to understand the terrorists and not enough on comprehending the destruction they caused. Besides, destruction makes for more exciting viewing. Throughout his career, Eichinger has emulated filmmakers who know how to entertain, which serves him well at the box office, but puts him at odds with the arthouse crowd, who accuse him of pandering.

Then, "motivated by pure altruism," German Director Volker Schlŏndorff (The Tin Drum), 44, agreed to "jump on the sinking vessel to try to save it." He focused on a single vignette from the book. English Actor Jeremy Irons, 35, and Italian Screen Siren Ornella Muti, 28, signed to play Swann and the courtesan he marries. The result, Un Amour...
...intellectual from an older German tradition, and ideas cascade from his mouth, almost drowning those who are not used to swimming in such icy waters. He abjures possessions and sleeps only an hour or so at a time, waking constantly to continue his work. Only Schlöndorff and Von Trotta, who live in a pleasant walk-up in one of Munich's oldest quarters, maintain what might be regarded as a normal life...
