has become

Known Viennese actor Karl Markovic (52), together with Tobias Moretti (56) in the 1990s, as Commissioner Stockinger in the TV series “Kommissar Rex” . International known Markovic also long, because he was seen in two Oscar-winning streaks: “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014) and “The Counterfeiters” – the latter in 2008 was awarded as Best Foreign Language Film, with Markovic in the lead role. The episode starring role he also played in “Polizeiruf 110: And forgive us our debts”: a woman murderer who must prove his guilt only to Commissioner of Hanns Meuffels (Matthias Brandt, 54) he believes … heavy stuff! What he thinks about the crime, Markovic has stated in an interview with spot on news.



How long have you considered whether you accept the role of the woman murderer Jens Baumann?

“Nanga Parbat “with Karl Markovic – here you can the trailer for the movie

Karl Markovic: I do not have a lot of thought, because the book is coherent. The authors has approached with the utmost seriousness to the issue. They had a concern, to test the limits. The but obviously not for the sake of effect, but because it is she herself interested.

Have worrying about done, if anything could adhere to this extreme part of you as an actor

Markovic:? With these thoughts I never play actually. Otherwise I would have probably not accepted even a good deal of my previous roles. Perhaps it would be something else if that would have been my first major television role. Since it can happen that a the general public or producer then connect only with this role.



A “Police” / “Tatort” should have a social relevance. What it is for you in this case? What can you think

Markovic: What fascinated me it is the courage of the filmmaker and the BR-editors, the issue of how much a person can fall into an abyss, in this absolute and consistent form to tell. Thus one seems to viewers and society too much. Actually it is the most despicable thing you can possibly imagine, and yet one feels phased pity, because this man also so extremely suffer.



Even if you do not like to think about it, you come almost not help but think: What if it would happen to me

Markovic: That is what: there is nothing human, which does not exist. People make the worst imaginable crimes directly or indirectly like Hitler, a serial killer, pedophile or Leichenschänder, are all no aliens. All are in the belly of her mother grew up, was born, grew up among us, and then fall into an abyss because of certain circumstances. But they are part of our nature. And a part of us could in theory, under certain circumstances also commit something like that.



This brings us to the limit of our morals and values ​​to which we feel so sure we .. .

Markovic: The borders are open but obviously both towards good and towards evil. People are capable of amazing benefits of selflessness and kindness, as well as on the other side to heinous crimes. In the film, it’s about the eternal struggle in us and in society about the values: what is good and what is evil

Fast keep everyone else in the film is actually for good, many have but a partial debt , What about the Commissioner

Markovic: Within this concrete history that affects very extreme the Commissioner of Hanns Meuffels (Matthias Brandt). How often does it happen already that crime Chief Commissioners have charged as much blame. At the same time he is the only one who even comes empathetic in Baumann’s close, because he says: I am certainly not your judge. I do not throw the first stone. I can guide you, would also arrest you and imprison, but I’m not going to expel from society. Not least because he realizes how fallible he is.



Directed by in this “Police” filmmaker Marco Kreuzpaintner (38, “Krabat”). What marks him out as a director

Markovic: Kreuzpaintner and his cameraman Philip Haberlandt (36) were extremely well prepared. Finding the right motives and the right cast, Kreuzpaintner was very important. I have also noted to the colleague. This meticulous preparation but has never concentrated on the other side. Example: the apartment Baumann. Everything was wonderfully prepared and yet we did not have to move at predetermined points, we could play. This freedom to operate within a very well-prepared sets, I have greatly appreciated.



Kreuzpaintner is a little younger than you and Matthias Brandt. What role did the

Markovic:? No. If someone has an inner authority and something to talk about, do not care how old he is, what name he has, what rank. Then one pays him respect. This applies for the initial 20 years of film graduates as well as for an experienced director such as Wes Anderson (46), with which I for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” had> a few days of shooting

What’s next on

Markovic:.? A movie in which it comes to the Czech actress Lida Baarová. She was the mistress of Joseph Goebbels, for he wanted to leave his wife. On intervention of Hitler out he has finished the affair. I play the Goebbels. The film will be presented at the Berlinale. Another international film I shot in 2015 in Norway. In “The King’s No” I play a German ambassador in Oslo during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. In both films, however, I do not know exactly when they will be on display in Germany.
