I know she was up there, so it's amazing she lived as long as she did. Her producing work for Shaw Bros. was so important and numerous of the productions she over saw are the perfect examples of the in-house Shaw style.

Indeed. Alexander Kluge's production company set up a site with videos. I am not sure about subtitles though -swo17 wrote:A giant. Here's a link.Lazertron wrote:Peter Berling

From my home town. Used to walk miles and spend hours in the 80's at Yesterday and Today up Rockville Pike where his label was centered. Seems so young to pass away.

Re: Passages
He turns up in lots of roles throughout Rainer Werner Fassbinder's films but currently I remember him best as an actor for his amazingly deranged role as the son seeing his mother's infatuation with their servant usurp his incestuous affections in Fassbinder's western film Whity. I particularly like that his volatile over the top performance contrasts very well with the (beautiful) almost blank performances from the rest of the characters, especially in the scene where he intrudes on the Whity and his mother being tender post-whipping and then gets slapped silly by mother!dadaistnun wrote:Ulli Lommel
I particularly like that the mother has stopped using whiteface by this stage of the film, matching Whity's dangerous lack of makeup, which emphasises that the characters in either whiteface or blackface are trapped by their superficial masks of colour, unable to show their true faces.
Then Lommel became a director, most famously of The Tenderness of the Wolves, then went to the US and made the music-crime film Cocaine Cowboys (with Andy Warhol in the cast!) and punk film Blank Generation before getting some notoriety with the video nasty The Boogeyman (the score of which is perhaps its best aspect!) and apparently sort of got forced into making a sequel to it after the first film became a success, which kind of turned into a meta-movie about the pressures of the film business and a director trying to contain his creation a long time before Wes Craven's New Nightmare!
He seems to have been working steadily since then on a mix of low budget serial killer biopics, horror films, abortive Marilyn Monroe-conspiracy theory pictures(!), documentaries about Native Americans and his time at Warhol's Factory, and even an apparent 'reboot' of The Boogeyman, Boogeyman: Reincarnation. All of which don't look too good, but its nice to see that he was keeping busy!

Re: Passages
Just read his obituary. What an incredible story. For the most part, his legend rests on one bit of action, but what a tremendous one it was.rohmerin wrote:King Michael I of Romania has died.
