Schlöndorff, Volker

    0.02 sec.

Schlöndorff, Volker

(born March 31, 1939, Wiesbaden, Ger.) German-U.S. film director. He studied filmmaking in Paris and worked for Louis Malle and Alain Resnais. He returned to Germany to make his first feature film, Young Torless (1968). He displayed a cool directorial style that distinguished him from others in the New German cinema movement. Forming his own production company, he made movies such as The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum (1975) and Coup de Grace (1976). The Tin Drum (1979) won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award for best foreign language film. His later films include Swann in Love (1984), Voyager (1991), and The Ogre (1998).
