About this person

His How to Marry a King (1969) and Six Make it Through the World (1972) are highly imaginative adaptations of fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers, and together with his 1975 Till Eulenspiegel, which is based on Renaissance stories that had been Christa and Gerhard Wolf recast into a film narration incorporating period history, present a very substantial contribution to World Cinema's carnivalesque film genre. His 1985 film The Woman and the Stranger won the Golden Bear award at the 35th Berlin International Film Festival. His 1980 film Jadup and Boel entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival in 1989.
