Sorry there is no Biography!Trivia
President of the European Film Academy
President of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1989
After studying medicine and philosophy in Munich, Freiburg and Düsseldorf, he joined the Munich Academy for Television and Film in 1968.
Many of his films are indebted to Nicholas Ray, which is proved by the expressionistic use of color in Der amerikanische Freund (1977) or the title of Bis ans Ende der Welt (1991) (Until The End of The World), the last spoken words in Ray's King of Kings (1961). Im Lauf der Zeit (1976) also lovingly lifts a scene from Ray's The Lusty Men (1952). His movie Lightning Over Water (1980) is a documentary about Nicholas Ray's last days.
He closed Belgrade Film Festival - FEST 2006.
Uncle of Hella Wenders.
