Bruno Ganz dead at 77
https://www.dw.com/en/swiss-actor-br...-77/a-47546200
Swiss actor Bruno Ganz died overnight on Saturday in his home in Zurich, according to German media. He was 77 years old. Ganz was famous both on the stage and on the big screen in roles including that of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in "Downfall" (2004) and Fernando Girasole in "Bread and Tulips" (2000). His last film performance was as Verge in Lars von Trier's horror movie "The House That Jack Built" (2018), playing a character that alludes to the figure of Virgil in Dante's "Inferno." In 1996, he received the prestigious award for German-speaking actors, the Iffland-Ring, which the bearer traditionally disposes of until death and passes on by will to the male actor he considers the best in German-language theater. |

Man, RIP. 77 ain't as old as it used to be. He was terrific in The House That Jack Built.
He was in some great movies. The Marquise of O The American Friend The Boys From Brazil Nosferatu the Vampyre In The White City Wings of Desire Eternity and a Day Bread and Tulips Downfall The Baader Meinhoff Complex The Reader The Counselor The House That Jack Built And it looks like his last film will be Terrence Malick's Radegund. |
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Weirdly yeah, I see 77 nowadays and think that's still not that old. But hell, pneumonia in your mid-60s on can easily be fatal.

Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Dang. A damn fine actor.

Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
I know him mostly from Downfall, which must absolutely suck for a German actor - to be remembered primarily for being Hitler. (And of course the following, never ending memes) He was good in that role though. |
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Excellent actor RIP.
|
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
There have been many excellent performances of Hitler by actors over the decades.
But there has been only one that has become immortal. RIP. |
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
I remember him most from his collaborations with Wim Wenders. Especially Wings of Desire. |

Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Saw Wings of desire on the big screen last year and Ganz is so great in it. R.I.P. |
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
His best performance was probably in Reinhard Hauff's Messer im Kopf.
|
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
He was also good as Jonathan Harker in Herzog's Nosferatu.

Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Definitely a shame to read this, today.
RIP to a great actor. |
Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
First remember seeing him in The American Friend - and later in Nosferatu, Boys from Brazil and Downfall. Always delivered a stand-out performance. RIP :(

Re: Bruno Ganz dead at 77
Would someone release a 4K UHD of Downfall please.
