약력

Writer, actor, and German filmmaker born in Munich in 1938. He spent his childhood and youth in Bavaria, region which remains until today its major source of artistic inspiration. Their activity is very diverse: he has composed pieces for theater and radio scripts, translator, painter and sculptor. As different as his artistic activities is his work, and therefore difficult to classify. In the world of cinema, his career fits approaches independent, mostly defined by a position too personalistic, provocative, that has left a deep imprint on works eminently conceptual and avant-garde, as well as suggesting in criticism of the subjects addressed (religion, society, geographical framework in which wandering people, etc.). His films just transcend the commercial sector; It is one of the most followed by seekers of original, stories of passes in areas interested in film culture. His anarchist surrealistic films are not known to a wide audience in Germany, although one of them, Das Gespenst (The Ghost), caused a scandal in 1983 because of its alleged blasphemous content. Werner Herzog, a director of the New German Cinema, based his film Heart of Glass on a story by Achternbusch.

Hades
Hades
This German political drama from iconoclastic filmmaker Herbert Achternbusch takes a slightly askew look at neo-Nazis and the Holocaust. His non-story (a typical trait of Achternbusch films) is divided into three parts. The first introduces Hades, an eccentric half-Jewish coffin maker. Also introduced are the women in his life. The second part depicts different scenes from the city's Jewish ghetto. Included are disturbing film clips from Nazi propaganda footage that shows the naked corpses of starved Jews piled up in the streets with the insinuation that the heartless relatives of the dead would unceremoniously toss them out when they expired. In the third part, Hades is buried at sea. In between, neo-Nazis march unopposed in Munich, Hades battles skinheads, and Hades' shop is repeatedly vandalized. A scene where Hades is fascinated with death is also seen.

I Know the Way to the Hofbrauhaus
Director
Comedy shot without a script on Super-8mm as a silent film, with intertitles later inserted between scenes. What unfolds is a familiar Achternbusch tale in which the protagonist (here his alter-ego, Hick) is driven by a mad longing and becomes irretrievably lost. Unable to meet the demands of the workaday world, Hick wanders alone through the city and, as in many of Achternbusch's films, enters an intermediate realm in which the dead interact with the living: he encounters and falls in love with a mummy, searches for an Egyptian queen, and stalks the inner regions of the hereafter, which lie in the middle of Munich.

Wohin?
Herbert
Several comedy situations are strung together for this offbeat satire. An unassuming businesswoman is discovered to be the mastermind behind a terrorist organization, and a disgruntled waitress has looks that can kill, literally and not figuratively speaking. In another tacky passage, played as a reoccurring gag, an official is infected with the AIDS virus after suffering a bite from the businesswoman.

Stalingrad, 1942: just as he is complaining about the "blockheads" who are in control, a German named Herbert gets hit. Fast forward forty years after the war to Munich's Hofgarten, where in front of the patched-up ruins of the Army Museum Herbert reappears, mistakenly believing he is still in Stalingrad, which the victorious Germans have destroyed and rebuilt in the image of Munich

Jesus (played by the director) returns to present-day Bavaria, walks around Munich in a somewhat dazed manner and strikes up an affair with a nun, arguing that they are married anyway. Therefore, he refers to himself as "Ober" (waiter), obviously the male form of "Oberin" (Mother Superior). He occasionally transforms into a snake when being afraid and is finally carried up into the sky by the nun, who transforms into a bird of prey. (IMDB review)

Der Neger Erwin
Der Neger Erwin
Herbert Achternbusch wrote, directed, and starred in this comedy that pokes fun at the German way of subsidizing the art of creating movies and documentaries. He is a filmmaker playing the role of a filmmaker in a film he is making, and as a result, the film jokes might be a little abstruse for some of the viewers. The story centers on a "film" man just out of prison (Achternbusch) who has to make a living with his craft again. He is followed by a reporter who wants an interview, and winds up at an inn called "Zum Neger Erwin," run by a woman whom he convinces to be the leading lady in his planned production. As the story continues, the filmmaker finds ample excuses to pan the financial powers that be, and to paint the beknighted and talented seekers after funds as Neger Erwins, slaves to the funding process.

유리의 심장
Writer
19세기 바바리아 지방의 유명한 전설을 기초로 한 영화. 진홍의 유리로 이름높은 마을에서 유리장인이 제작비법을 아무에게도 알려주지 않은 채 세상을 떠난다. 유리공장의 젊은 주인은 비법을 찾으려 하지만 아무 단서도 발견하지 못한다. 포기하지 않고 비밀을 밝혀내려고 애쓰던 공장주는 결국 유리에 넣을 처녀의 피를 구하기 위해 살인까지 저지르게 된다. 그러나 이것마저 실패하자, 공장에 불을 질러버린다. 이때 예언능력을 가진 양치기가 방화혐의로 체포되어, 살인혐의로 수감된 공장주와 만나게 된다. 헤어쪼그의 가장 아름다우면서도 기묘한 영화. 최면에 빠질 듯한 영상과 매혹적인 음악이 멜랑콜리한 정서를 자아내며, 초월적이며 시적인 대사가 인상적이다.

Das Andechser Gefühl
Writer
An anxious teacher (played, as is the lead role in all his films, by the director) sits in a beer garden on the hill of the Andechs monastery. While flies drown in his mug of beer, he confronts a life of failure: the wife he ignored, the child he neglected, the teaching duties he has shirked, and his doomed efforts at winning tenure from school officials. Only a dream from the past-the memory of a former liaison with a film star with whom he shared "the Andechs feeling, a feeling that we are not alone" - provides sustenance. Despite an unexpected series of events, longing in Achternbusch's world ultimately remains stronger than fulfilment and thirst better than beer.

country boy #1
남루한 행색의 소년이 어두운 동굴에서 홀로 지낸다. 어느 날, 검은 옷을 입은 남자가 소년을 밖으로 데리고 나간다. 말은 물론, 잘 걷지도 못하는 소년은 편지 한 장을 든 채 마을 한복판에 서 있게 된다. 소년의 이름은 카스파르 하우저. 사람들은 하우저에게 관심을 보이지만, 소년은 그저 호기심과 조롱의 대상일 뿐이다. 한 교수가 하우저를 데려가 교육시키려 하는데, 어느 날, 하우저가 괴한의 공격을 받고 만다. 실제로 1928년 뉘른베르크에 나타나 세간의 관심과 논란을 불러일으켰던 소년 카스파르 하우저의 이야기를 그렸다. 배우가 아닌 거리의 악사였던 브루노 S.의 실제를 방불케 하는 연기가 깊은 인상을 남긴다. * 1975 칸영화제 심사위원대상 등 3개 부문
