Karl Markovics on Helmut Qualtinger, the advantages of the crown crisis and how André Heller tells “nothing sensual” about his childhood. Today at ORF.
“There is a bit of luck somewhere in the world and I dream of it at all times. . Roman Silberstein sings the shellac to himself as he tosses coins into the picture book lake from the rowboat, as if he wants to feed the fish with it. He will soon hit his wife on the shovel as if it were the catch that needs to be killed with a club. And he gives his son, who cannot swim, a bad lesson in the water. Then we immediately know what we are dealing with in Father Silberstein: the patriarch of a confectionery dynasty that the Nazis led into exile because of their Jewish ancestry has become a bitter tyrant. “It was a lot of fun and fun to portray this extreme figure,” says Karl Markovics. “But the focus was on the son, André Heller’s alter ego.”
