Werner Schroeter (1945 2010) was a German filmmaker who made such films as The Death of Maria Malibran, Day of the Idiots, and The Rose King. In 2008, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for his life's work. In addition to his work in film, he directed numerous theatrical and operatic productions. Claudia Lenssen is a film scholar and critic who writes for numerous film publications. She lives and works in Berlin. Anthea Bell is an award-winning British writer and translator.
"Schroeter was a fascinating and highly idiosyncratic figure in the
histories of film, theater, opera, and the German avant-garde in
the last quarter of the twentieth century. His life was packed with
an astonishing range of collaborations, love affairs, professional
disappointments, and triumphant accomplishments. This book reveals
a consummate artist and a master raconteur at the top of his
form."
--Edward Dimendberg, University of California, Irvine
