VÝROČIA OSOBNOSTÍ: MARGARETHE VON TROTTA

Február 2017: Druhé prebudenie Christy Klagesovej, Sestry alebo rovnováha šťastia, Olovená doba

21. februára sa dožije 75 rokov nemecká režisérka Margarethe von Trotta, jedna z výrazných osobností tzv. nového nemeckého filmu. Ešte predtým, než začala rozvíjať svoju režisérsku kariéru, hrala vo filmoch Rainera Wernera Fassbindera (Prečo posadol amok pána R., Bohovia moru, Americký vojak) a Volkera Schlöndorffa (Baal – spolu s Fassbinderom, Náhle vzplanutie, Rana z milosti). V roku 1971 sa vydala za Schlöndorffa (rozviedli sa v roku 1991), s ktorým spolupracovala aj ako režisérka (na filme Stratená česť Kataríny Blumovej). Vlastnú tvorbu Margarethy von Trotta podľa nej ovplyvnili (okrem iného) filmy Ingmara Bergmana zo 60. a 70. rokov 20. storočia, na ktorých ju zaujala schopnosť média filmu reprezentovať vnútorné psychické svety postáv. Vo februári uvedieme tri režisérkine skoré filmy z prelomu 70. a 80. rokov. Vo všetkých troch sú hlavnými protagonistkami ženy a práve ich osudy a vzťahy (často sesterské) sa stali dominantnými témami tvorby Margarethy von Trotta.
