Interview with Stefan Ruzowitzky, writer-director, The Counterfeiters
|
Back in March, when The Counterfeiters won the Academy Award for best foreign language film, Austria went a little crazy.
The media was full of it. The film, which had come and gone in art house cinemas, was re-released, and there was general media hoo-ha.
An Austrian film had never before won an Oscar, you see. The country has a strong, often provocative tradition of cinema, but it's usually overshadowed by the Germans.
Two months later, writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky is still pondering how to deal with the aftermath.
