Franz Rogowski came to the Venice Film Festival for the competition film “Lubo”. He also has unexpected experiences there.
Venice – Franz Rogowski is an internationally sought-after actor – with enthusiastic fans. When asked whether his life had changed thanks to his international success, the 37-year-old told dpa: “Sometimes yes. My life is still very simple. And Berlin is also very relaxed, people don’t care that much. You look at it from a distance, but the people are actually very respectful. Here in Italy it was now more extreme. In every hallway, in every back door, in every car – everywhere I go, young girls like this scream at me. And that seems absurd to me. I have the feeling they were paid by the festival to go there, like extras.”
Rogowski can be seen at the Venice Film Festival in the film “Lubo” directed by Giorgio Diritti. He plays a nomad and street artist from Graubünden who is drafted into the Swiss army in 1939 and whose family is then torn away from him. He is a Yenisch – a member of an ethnic group of former traveling craftsmen who were repeatedly excluded and discriminated against.
For his role, Rogowski learned, among other things, the Yenish language and Swiss German; he also speaks Italian in the film. He also taught himself to play the harmonica and the Styrian harmonica. The many different languages that Lubo speaks were what attracted him to the role. “This figure has demanded a lot of exciting things from me, in a sporting sense, challenging things,” said Rogowski. dpa
