Snippet: Jego kino jest kinem drogi – dosłownie i metaforycznie. Przez wielkie miasta, a nawet ich dachy, przez bezdroża, w głąb siebie, w duszę bohatera.

To akt uważności, odpowiedzialności i empatii – sposób istnienia w świecie.

Snippet: Neben Marilyn Monroe war die Bardot lange Zeit Jahre das größte Sexsymbol des Kinos. Mitte der 1950er Jahre feierte Brigitte Bardot mit dem Film "... und immer lockt das Weib" ihren Durchbruch. Regie führte ihr damaliger Ehemann, der Regisseur Roger Vadim. Er sollte das Bild der Schauspielerin entscheidend prägen: "Die BB" wurde zur sinnlichen und auch tabubrechenden Ikone des Weltkinos.
