Schon sein Gesicht verriet es, die bitteren Züge von subtilem Unglück und einer Spur von Jammer, Zweifel in den Augen und um die Mundwinkel. Ebenso seine Stimme, verhalten, müde, im unteren Bereich leicht ausgefranst, die in ihrer Distanziertheit unendlich ausdrucksvoll verbergend preisgab, welches Leid sich hinter dem Gesicht verbarg. Heinz Bennent, ein Schauspieler, ein wahrhaftiger Schauspieler, ein Unvergesslicher, dessen Leben Nährboden für seine Kunst war.

It's not about me, it's about the music.
Museums function, partly by design and partly in spite of themsevles, as monuments to the fragility of cultures, to the fall of sustaining institutions and noble houses, the collapse of rituals, the evacuation of myths, the destructive effects of warfare, neglect, and corrosive doubt.

Have you ever seen a film called the Mirror? I was hypnotised! I've seen it 20 times, It's the closest I've got to a religion – to me he is God. And if I didn't dedicate the film to Tarkovsky, then everyone would say I was stealing from him. If you are stealing, then dedicate. I have stolen so much from Tarkovsky over the years; in order not to get arrested, I had to dedicate the film to him. I should have done it a long time ago.
— Lars von Trier
