Baby Schimmerlos, Conny Scheffer and the other: from the films by Helmut Dietl
Helmut Dietl was one of those artists whose work has become so popular that you can throw each other dialogues it is. Just think of the part played by Mario Adorf Rhine-General Henry Haffenloher, the zubrummt being played by Franz Xaver Kroetz Society reporter Baby Schimmerlos: “I shit you something of my money on that you do not have a moment’s peace.” Never is brutal and at the same time set the scene funnier than in this episode was the only six-part, but never enough to praise television series “Kir Royal” the power of money on German television. With her Dietl wrote 1986 television history.

However, as a repeat offender, because previously he had another series successes with “Monaco Franze – Der ewige Stenz” The (1983) ” I Do not Know “(1979) or” Munich Stories “(1974). All these series had their hearts in Munich, the city where Dietl was not born – he came in 1944 in Bad Wiessee to the world – but the reborn appeared on the screens through him. In Munich Dietl had studied theater staged and finally turned upside down all our ideas of what can be accomplished German television.

Going to the movies he came late as director until 1992, but then the same with “Schtonk!” The grotesque about the forged Hitler diaries, for which he composed was a star-studded cast, the “Kir Royal” was not inferior: Götz George, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Christiane Hoerbiger, Harald Juhnke, Ulrich Mühe. Dietl wrote the screenplay himself as usual and made from the true one crazy story that you almost forget the wretchedness of the original scandal liked – so playful bandaged his actors. The title of the onomatopoeia quote from Charlie Chaplin’s “Great Dictator” was just icing on the film-historical satire that actually international demands more than enough. “Schtonk!” Is one of the German films for the cinema history.
“Rossini”, the successor in 1997, it is also and especially because working here with a light guide, such as had not been seen since Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon”. Once again, here is the high society Dietl’s theme, once wrote Patrick Süskind together with him the script (as in “Kir Royal” and already each episode of “All normal Wansinns”), and that the shy Süskind himself the model for the offers from Joachim Krol played writer Jakob Windisch, makes a significant part of the appeal of this melancholy movie out of a dialogue feat is as usual in recent German cinema only Romuald Karmakar’s “Manila” (which also includes a writer, Bodo Kirchhoff, wrote the screenplay ).
What a pearl necklace
The last three films Dietl failed, however: at the box office, but also twice on own attempt own ironic recipe for success always continue writing. “Late Night” (1999) and “Zettl” (2012) reintroduced again in each case in the media industry, the latter even as a direct continuation of “Kir Royale”, the Franz Xaver Kroetz but had refused to happiness. In between lay with “the Looking for and the Finding of Love” from 2005, again with Süskind together spelled quietly composers tragedy that had the makings of a great throw, but did not want to come close to the exuberance of the previous Dietl movies and therefore did not receive the attention that she deserves.
More about
But that does not diminish the importance Dietl and his work, for he has been a director such a pearl necklace boast, as in that less than a quarter of a century of “Munich stories” to “Rossini”? Now Helmut Dietl has died after a long illness, of course, in Munich. If there were analogous to the state funeral something like a city funeral, he deserved it.
