On 16/02/2019 at 21:23, ThePrematureBurial said: A bad year for great actors. First Albert Finney, now Bruno Ganz. He starred in Eric Rohmer's "La marquise d'O". One of my favorite films. I wonder who will get the Iffland-Ring for the most significant and worthy actor of the German-speaking theatre now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iffland-Ring Jens Harzer gets Iffland Ring. Not a name I know, but apparently acclaimed in Germany, which is sort of the point. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
