BRUNO GANZ R.I.P.

I never met Bruno Ganz, but in 1978 when I first tried acting in movies to make money to pay the bills, since poetry wasn't doing that, I saw the film THE AMERICAN FRIEND, and Bruno Ganz instantly became my favorite film actor, his artistry what I aspired to achieve some day. And he and it have been ever since.

His acting in the film KNIFE IN THE HEAD is for me the greatest film performance I've ever seen, or among the top few. He has never disappointed me, even in minor roles or bad movies. The third film of his top three performances is probably his most famous in the USA: WINGS OF DESIRE. All three are worth watching anytime.

My condolences to his family, friends, and fans. May he rest in his film performances forever.
