Bille August – „Fräulein Smillas Gespür für Schnee“ (1997)

Geständnis: Mit dem „Fräulein Smilla“ hatte ich eine leidenschaftliche literarische Affäre. Ich kann mich zwar beim besten Willen nicht mehr daran erinnern, wo ich das Buch von Peter Høeg gelesen habe. Doch daran, wie ich es an einem Stück aufgesogen habe, erinnere ich mich, als wäre es erst gestern gewesen. Merkwürdig ist das schon, oder..? (ARD, Wh.)

The previous year, Redgrave had sold two houses to raise the funds to make The Palestinian, a documentary about the Palestinian struggle which she narrated herself.

After her Oscar nomination for Julia, the Jewish Defence League (JDL) threatened the members of the Academy with repercussions if they voted for Redgrave, citing her “one-sided” film and her support for the Palestinian people.

At the 1978 Oscars, left-wing actress Vanessa Redgrave won the award for Best Supporting Actress. She had played the title role in Julia, an anti-Nazi fighter.

She gave a speech which, as recently as 2019, the The New York Times still considered rendered that night “the most political ceremony in Academy history.”
