biography:
Bruno Ganz est un comédien de théâtre et un acteur de cinéma et de télévision suisse, né le 22 mars 1941 à Zurich (ZH) et mort le 16 février 2019 dans la localité d'Au (de), commune de Wädenswil (ZH), en Suisse.

Au cinéma, parmi les rôles qui ont fait sa renommée, figurent celui de Damiel dans Les Ailes du désir de Wim Wenders et celui de Hitler dans La Chute, film d’Oliver Hirschbiegel qui relate les derniers jours du dictateur, terré dans son Führerbunker à Berlin.

De 1996 à 2019, il est le dépositaire de l'anneau de Iffland, désignant l'acteur de théâtre de langue allemande le plus renommé.

Bruno Ganz est né le 22 mars 1941 à Zurich, d'un père suisse exerçant la profession de mécanicien et d'une mère originaire d'Italie du Nord. Bruno Ganz entame sa carrière artistique au théâtre en 1961, et quitte la Suisse pour Berlin. Il co-fonde la troupe de la Berliner Schaubühne avec Peter Stein. Déjà, le grand acteur Gustav Knuth est convaincu de son talent. Dans le même temps, il fait des apparitions au cinéma, avec moins de succès qu'au théâtre. En 1967, il joue dans Haut les mains de Jerzy Skolimowski.

En 1972, il apparaît au Festival de Salzbourg dans la première mise en scène de Der Ignorant und der Wahnsinnige de Thomas Bernhard, sous la direction de Claus Peymann. L'année suivante, il est désigné «acteur de l'année» par le magazine allemand Theater heute pour ce rôle.

En 1975, son rôle dans Sommergäste lui permet d'afficher son talent.

Josef Meinrad lui a transmis l'Anneau de Iffland en 1996.

En 2000, il joue le Faust (I et II) de Goethe dans l'adaptation de Peter Stein, qui dure 13 heures.

Parmi ses principaux rôles au cinéma, il a joué l'ange Damiel dans Les Ailes du désir de Wim Wenders, le Pr Stanciulescu dans L'Homme sans âge de Francis Ford Coppola et Hitler dans La Chute.

En 2007, il est fait chevalier de la Légion d’honneur.

Bruno Ganz était marié, mais vivait séparé de sa femme, Sabine. Il avait un fils et vivait entre Zurich, Venise et Berlin. Il eut une liaison avec Romy Schneider au début des années 1970.

À l'été 2018, Bruno Ganz devait assurer le rôle de l'orateur de La Flûte enchantée, à Salzbourg. Se sentant anormalement faible, il décide de consulter le corps médical sur place. Un cancer du côlon lui est décelé et une chimiothérapie est immédiatement entamée. Bruno Ganz transmet alors le rôle à son collègue et ami Klaus Maria Brandauer, et renonce à tous ses engagements afin de pouvoir se soigner. Malgré des signes d'amélioration, il meurt des suites de ce cancer le 16 février 2019 à son domicile de Au (de), Wädenswil.

title: Success

overview: For fans of history, this glimpse of Munich society in the 1920s will be a much-treasured event. The story revolves around an art-gallery manager who puts on a show featuring the scandalous works of a woman artist who committed suicide.

He is imprisoned at about the same time that Hitler and the nascent Nazi party attempt the infamous Beer Hall Putsch, and the gallery manager's girlfriend and a Swiss writer valiantly (and unsuccessfully) attempt to get better justice for him. Nobody in authority, it seems, has the courage to take up the challenge of righting this particular injustice.

Interweaving love stories, political debate, and historical commentary, Farocki creates a critical reflection on how war is represented, seen, and imagined, both in cinema and in public consciousness. The result is a complex meditation on images as weapons and instruments of perception.
